[ORRando] P-B-P 2015?

[Jonathan Puskas]

Is anyone else making a run at Paris-Brest-Paris in 2015?

I'm new to the Brevet world, but have a bit of ultra-endurance experience in MTB and Triathlon.

While I realize I'll be a bit behind by only doing a 300k and 400k in 2014 (up near Seattle in August), I'd welcome any other feedback others have for tackling this challenge (I'm thinking about Charly Miller Society, but not totally committed to that level of discomfort... Yet.).

Regardless, I'm looking for some partners in crime so please feel free to Email me directly to share rides/stories/experience.

Cheers,

Subject: [ORRando] 600 June 8 2nd-day cue sheet

Thanks for posting the 1st day cue sheet.  It appears the 2nd day cue sheet is not posted.

The Day 2 GPS route includes part of a detour route from the Three Capes 300k.  The cue sheet from that ride had a glaring error soon after the halfway control in Pacific City.  This gps route also includes the same mis-cued turn.  For those of us who do not use gps devices, it is good to know that just north of Pacific City the turn from Ferry Street in the town of Woods is a right turn onto A Street and NOT Old Woods Rd.  David and I missed this turn because there is no street sign for Old Woods Road.  A Street does become Old Woods Road, but NOT at that intersection.  Google Maps misses this.

Also, note that the Portland Wheelmen Pioneer Century is also this Saturday, June 7, starting in Canby at 7 am.  It uses a few of the same roads as our 600k route, including Meridian, Arbor Grove and Champoeg Roads: http://pwtc.com/node/939
