No other brevet has the same atmosphere as PBP. Where else do people along the route give you chocolate, coffee and crepes at 2 am?

By the way, it doesn't need to take too much time. Fly in Saturday, ride and fly out Saturday has been done by several people. One week out of your life and any jet lag will help you after sunset!
