2023 Entry & Qualification !

On the 28th of January at 11:00 GMT I could finally enter Paris Brest Paris. Two week after those with 1000km BRM pre qualifier, it was the chance of us with 600s to our name to snap up the remaining prime starting times.

Long story short, after a very stressful 30 minutes on the computer, with a the PBP site crashing twice I was IN !
50 euros paid and validated. My start time was set 18:30 in wave K on the 20/08/2023.
Starting at this time of the day is not really what I'm used to but it seemed the best option.

My plan at the moment is pretty lose, but I hope to ride through the first night and get 40 winks sleep at one of the controls. Then continue to Loudeac control and have a proper rest there after 400km. After that point I will rest as and when required at further control points.

The next step is to complete qualification. Results from a 2023 Super Randonneur are required from BRM events. As its PBP year there are loads of great options for each distance. The events I have selected are:






I have also got a few events ear marked as reserves just in case I miss one of the above for any reason.

Onwards to a long Summer of cycling!!😊
