Audax Randonneurs Mondiaux – The legendary Superbrevet Paris Brest Paris – 1200 kilometers of pure endurance Almost 7000 participants worldwide ride from Paris to the Atlantic and back again – day and night in the saddle In cool nights and in scorching heat Between euphoria and total exhaustion Fascination Brevet riding – that ultimate event for all randonneurs The super brevet “Paris Brest Paris” Welcome to part 11 – to stage 4 goes from Fougères to Tinténiac in the early morning until midday, the tour lasts 61 km – the tour only measures 400 meters in altitude and so I leave the checkpoint in Fougères in the early morning, you can already see – the sky is completely blue, no clouds, it will be a wonderful day Shortly before 9:00 a.m. we have been on the road for a total of 13 hours and minutes at km 292. I took a 45-minute break at control 3 I only ate a little something there again, a bit of a baguette and yes, I think it’s quite a long time how you can waste time at the checkpoints and that’s how it goes at the start of stage 4 , it’s Monday now so we can too Shopping in shops again and so it’s a quiet ride out of Fougères, a beautiful old town in the best weather. Fougères is also a bit bigger so it takes a while to get out of there and now we drive parallel to each other for a while a motorway again in the usual slightly undulating profile, so regularly a bit up and down the mountain, it’s now 9:20 a.m. so just under half an hour again a small town where we drive through yes and where residents then look and applaud you when you drive past – they are forming again You can still see some smaller groups – they still have long sleeves (i.e. arm warmers) or long jerseys on, it’s not really warm yet – but it will change and so we drove up a mountain or a hill like that for a while and now enjoy a beautiful descent, you can see that it is a small plateau and we are now rushing down there for a long time without having to pedal too much. There are always people on the right and left who are parking their bikes and stopping somewhere to do something or maybe spend the night there and organized something privately and he had something like a cape or a scarf on the back of saddlebags, so you don’t often see people riding with saddlebags and luggage carriers. Then at some point the driver came here and he didn’t belong at all to PBP the did a training lap on Monday morning and of course he drove – because he was fresh and had no previous stress – he drove very sportily and quickly and then I followed him again through a picturesque little town – it was now 10:00 a.m. – 1 hour 10 minutes on the road I’ve now driven 30 km. In total it’s 14 hours 30 minutes for 322 km and I’m now staying in the slipstream of this rider who’s doing his training lap here. Here you can see two of them are already with each other connected or three “that’s not how drafting is…” you might not have been able to understand well “that’s also how nice drafting is” is what I said to an athlete who isn’t pre-loaded and who has a nice pace, where you can keep up but not totally We’ve exhausted our energy and so we rush past a lot of people again. Nobody overtakes us – that’s how we make a good mileage. “The rest are gone – they don’t want to keep up with the pace. ” Exactly “it shouldn’t take revenge – the whole thing” you can’t exert yourself too much, you have to use the grains you have sparingly, but if you can do a little drafting , then I’m happy to use that as long as it stays within a certain limit for me But that’s probably the case for you and here you can see another little refreshment point. There’s a little stand everywhere now – then sometimes they offer a little something to drink and a little something to eat if you feel like it, you can stay stand “thanks for drafting” Yes, unfortunately he turned here while I would have loved to drive after him and I think this sign here is really great. You can see that it’s on makeshift stands and now it’s tedious and slow again – the more speed you go – the better it works At least I think it’s “drafting” because when there’s hardly any “speed” – then there’s no slipstream, no pull, no “nothing”, so at that speed it makes no sense to drive behind you , so you continue solo and The heat is still coming, it’s still mid-morning and everything is still “super-easy” but from 12:00 or 1:00 or 2:00 onwards it gets nice and warm – a tandem – the one next to me whizzes past where I’m with it I chat with people on the tandem “at good speed”, that means I get them and get behind them , well – but appearances were deceptive – I drove too slowly and if they have good speed – you often have problems with them to catch up with “well – it’s not that fast” and so we continued driving individually again. Meanwhile it was 10:30 a.m. through a picturesque northern France with a cloud-free sky , here again a route where it was a bit uphill and downhill, somehow I am I’ve really crawled up the mountain here, another mini refreshment point where the locals offer people water. I’m almost halfway through the stage now and there’s another refreshment point, a small table is set up – then there’s standing there a few people and at these refreshment points you can usually always see some cyclists standing there. They’re already taking off their clothes – they’re too warm. Another sign says “Please keep your distance, dear drivers – from the cyclists!” another tandem with two Italians. At 11:00 a.m. we now have another nice downhill ride where you just let it roll – saves a bit of energy and lets your pulse slow down a bit and there he is again – seen at the beginning – with the pretty jersey and the socks of the same color now we are pretty close to the finish of the stage in Tinténiac, so that’s Tinténiac now. also a beautiful old town too beautiful – people are standing there – shopping and they know that it is PBP and applaud when people drive by. So now we are in Tinténiac at 11:10 a.m. I needed 2 hours and 22 minutes for the 61 km Heart rate on average was 130 bpm again, maximum speed was just under 60 at one point I can hardly remember it and the average speed was now 25.7 km/h and you get very happy here There are a lot of faces looking at you then we go back over the control mats to measure the time and then we go to the parking area for the bikes so I now have a total of 15 hours 40 minutes for the 353 km and the brevet cards are now stamped here in a container like this and here They have set up a lot outside – like party tents – there is a barbecue – you can eat inside and eat outside. There are also large dormitories here and photographers have lots of photos of drivers in previous years made and show the happy faces of well-rested people. Yes, that’s how it is: they just fall asleep somewhere. Yes, the photographers love that when the tired cyclist lies down somewhere and then somehow sleeps: sitting, half-sitting, lying down, up on a bench or on a wall and these are now the dormitories – of course around midday there is almost nothing going on there, this is now a dormitory so camp beds are set up and then you can book a lounger – that somehow costs a few euros then write the Decide when you want to be woken up and then you have a number for your bed there and then at some point someone will wake you up. Soup – yes, I’ll eat a lot of soup afterwards , so small bowls of soup – that will always work afterwards, I think I’ll take that, the soup is really good, I think there are nice little salads here, cakes again, no long queue. I took the quinoa salad and I’ll get another soup straight away . I still had half the baguette from the morning with me I eat that then go straight to it Now, looking back, I looked at how long it took me. I’ll be really surprised at how much time you spend on such a check plus a little bit of food and the time that flies: you stand in line until everyone actually gets something They want “so my soup has arrived” and so I enjoy my soup, salad and baguette in peace and am amazed at how much the others are getting on their tablets so that’s my meal for the first time after almost 300 km that I wanted something warm and that I got something hearty “now we’re off to Loudéac” Food was very good – I couldn’t have managed any more anyway. I’ve now used up 75 minutes here. I was really surprised and here’s an overview of what I’ve eaten so far So now soup, salad and the second half baguette “yes, 80 km I think – around the turn…” “so everything is there? – yes, I hope so.” and it continues – stage 5 So now it’s 12:30 p.m. I’ve been on the road for almost 17 hours in total and at kilometer 353 – “yes, nice location here” and how it continues – now again on a slightly longer stage of stage 5, that’s what comes next in the next part part thanks for watching bye
