No PBP for me this year...

[Panoramix]

Due to not being able to ride this week end qualifier for personal reasons I have decided not to do PBP this year. From the start Mrs P was unimpressed by this and this is it now...

 

Well there is more to life than just PBP, I may or may not do a "Diagonale" this summer.

[Exit Stage Left]

It's probably too late to go to the Semaine Federale. But it is a cheap holiday that has a lot of the feel of PBP.

Sorry to hear that. I enjoyed your company on parts of the BCM so it would have been nice to re-acquaint.

[Andrew]

Dommage, vraiment...

I'd welcome your company if you decide to do a diagonal... maybe not this summer but some other time.

Sorry to hear that Monsieur P.

Yes there is more to life than PBP and I've probably sacrificed more than I should in order to attempt it.

Now go and do something more enjoyable than cycling through the night in the rain.

You are not alone. On the bright side I now have a weeks holiday in the Lake District to look forward to.

And I'm off to the Netherlands

Thank you all!

I need to find something else to do...

In 2003 a couple of us decided we didn't want to ride PBP, so we did this (on foot) instead.

Or may be there will be a PBP for me!

How is she taking the news of a 1000?

She woke me up this morning saying "It's fathers' day and you should go to Paris "

Go go go!

I've never heard of this tradition. Do you have to get back tonight?

And I'm off to the Netherlands 

So are we! 

(as our next "final" attempt at qualifying...)

if you fail this, you can always take the ferry on the 13th of July to do the Rouen BRM with me (me loving tandem wheels? noooo... or may be)!

I'm definately not doing it.  Mechanicals on the Seething 600 and I just didn't fancy trying again last weekend.  I'm quite happy not to be going but I'll have to stop following this board soon in case I start getting regrets.

I've got a Formule 1 room booked for the Fri and Sat before and the Thurs after.  I can cancel for free but if rooms are hard to come by and the reservation can be transferred I'll be happy to hand it over to somebody.
