By now maybe you've heard that Casey is going to do some crazy bike ride in France. Well it's true, and I'm just as amazed as you are. Paris-Brest-Paris, henceforth referred to as PBP, is what the event is called. It is the oldest cycling rally there is, being run at various intervals since 1891, and currently held every four years. PBP's popularity over the years has waxed and waned, but it is currently at a zenith: over 7500 riders will descend on Paris in mid-August, and ride the 600-odd kilometers to the Atlantic coast at Brest. Then, since they left their clean clothes back in Paris, they will all turn around and ride back.
In subsequent posts, (which I will hopefully make), I will try to explain the who, what, when, where and most importantly the whys of PBP. So please stay tuned.
