Started friday at 8PM, to simulate PBP start. Rain showers till midnight with beautiful sunset. After first checkpoint rain stoped. Quite short night while riding in small group and chatting. Calm morning after second checkpoint with early sunshine. Nearly fell asleep while cycling in morning. Slow pace. Great sceneries made me to forget stomach poisoning. In third checkpoint spent more than hour to rest. On the way to the finish line, stoped for hot delicious bouillon and samosa at Cafe Muse.. dogs are cute-as always.
Overall was quite experience of sleep deprevation to remember what it was like few years ago participating in PBP'19.

Paris-Brest-Paris 23' Fourth Qualification
It became one of the fastest personal 600 brevet. First day 313km with random groups was quick to reach halfway Kintai CP3. Nearly all day was raining. Some guys had multiple nasty crashes on sliperry roads and railroads crossings. Even flying out of a road. At CP3 spent a lot of time on talks with other randonneurs about thier experiences during the day. Had 4 hours flash sleep and decent evening meal. Slept at little summer house. Started second day early in the morning. Mainly it was solo ride all day long with 300+km. Got my pace and didn't depend on other groups dynamics. Rain showers followed in morning and afternoon. Managed quite good with meals and deserved rest at stops. Energy gels helped a lot and no problems with digestion. Still to improve in layering and rain clothes.. and less chitchat :) Time flies! Overall very happy with result.
See u all in Rambouillet!
