Description: You’ve got your bike and you’ve been enjoying club rides and happily spinning out 30 or 40 miles on a Saturday afternoon. But, how far can you really go? You’ve heard about centuries and grave ride events and you’re anxious to participate in at least one this upcoming season. Or maybe you want to participate in a week-long bike vacation to a very cool place.

Should you do any special maintenance on your bike? How much to eat and drink on the day of the event? What should you wear and carry with you? How do you deal with inclement weather? Are frequent stops the right way to go? Is it ok to stop and take pictures? Is this a race? Should you try to grab on to a paceline?

Paris-Brest-Paris with Charles River Wheelers

• Location: NEAR Ride Studio Cafe at
  LEXINGTON DEPOT
  13 Depot Square
  Lexington , MA

• Event Type: Presentation

• Date & Time: Wednesday, 27 February 2019, 7pm

• Reason: Come learn about the oldest organized bicycle event!

• Price: Free RSVP Required, RSVP Here

Description: Socializing from 7 PM; Light Refreshments will be served. Presentations followed by Q&A, 7:30-9 PM.

The iconic 750 mile Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP) ride runs from Paris westward to the Atlantic and back. CRW members will illustrate and describe their PBP experiences.

PBP is the world's oldest organized bicycling event, first run in 1891. It is above all a test of endurance, not open to professional racers . Riders are allowed 90 hours to finish and may eat and sleep at control points along the route.

Expect an entertaining evening as our hometown heroes tell their stories. Did you know that CRW member Harriet Fell was among the first group of Americans to complete Paris-Brest-Paris? Melinda Lyon was the first female finisher in a PBP -- twice? Two CRW members completed it on fixed gear and two others on a tandem?

But also, PBP will run again in 2019. Might you be interested in PBP? Here's your chance to find out more.

Ride Studio Cafe has worked with several PBP riders to design their ideal bike for this endurance event. Read more about the designing the perfect Paris-Brest-Paris Bike here.
