ROAD TO PBP 2027
If you think the road to the ultimate 1,200km brevet starts next year, you’re already behind. PBP spots are capped at 8,000 riders worldwide, and securing your place on that starting line in France requires a calculated, two-year strategy.
Right now, we are in the thick of the 2026 Pre-Qualification Window (which runs until October 31).
Here is how the game works: The longest official BRM you complete this season determines how early you get to register in January 2027.
Knock out a 1000km+ or 600km now? You get first priority.
Only have a 200km in the bag? You wait in line until mid-March, risking getting locked out if the event sells out.
Over the next several months, I’m taking you along on my weekly build-up to France. I’ll be breaking down my actual training, the mechanics of my bike setup, nutrition strategies for riding through the night, and navigating the mandatory qualifier series.
Whether you’re planning your own PBP journey or just want to see what it takes to survive 90 hours on a bike, welcome to the road to Rambouillet.
