80H from 2007

2007-Timetables-80hr.pdf

84H from 2007: Note that you only get like 37 hours for the ca. 618 Km to Brest and particular care is needed for the sleep stop......the 90H group gets almost 43 hours to get to Brest. Six hours more. My experience might not be helpful but I started with the 84H group once and when I got to Loudeac just after sunset, it was impossible to find a place to park the bike let alone get a spot to sleep. A more leisurely oriented rider might make a quick sleep in Tintineac and then ride strongly to make the control at Carhaix rather than waste time in Loudeac. Anyone starting with the 84H group who can't regularly do 600K Brevets in maybe 33 hours needs to think thru that first night's sleep stop carefully in my opinion. Since ca. 47 hours are allowed on the return for 84H riders, getting to Brest in time is the key....YMMV. (90H riders also get 47 hours on the return.....)
