Finished quite a few 1200+ brevets. Start time is important when deciding on your strategy. It can be useful to be ahead or behind the ‘bulge’ of riders that can swamp the available sleeping accommodation. I tend to have issues riding between 2am and 4am, so I usually plan on sleeping during that period and preferably also sleeping before and after. Some folk ride straight through the first night to get a long way through the route by the end of the second day and then cruise short days to the finish. The standard PBP advice is race out and tour back. Building a safety margin on the first couple of days can be very useful in the last couple of days.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
