What's it all about...?

The mega-cycle distance event, Paris-Brest-Paris, took place over the last few days. It's what the event title says: a 1200km ride from Paris, all the way to Brest in western Brittany. And back again. That's about 760 miles, non stop, apart from the occasional sleep on a park bench en route. Ron here did it in 66 hours, including 4 hours sleep. 

Well done Ron. He only got back yesterday but decided to come out for a ride today. You just can't keep him off the bike.

What an amazing achievement. But why would you do it voluntarily. What's it all about, eh?
