When PBP was run mostly on major roads (until the '70s), the distance was a little less than 1200km. The 1200km nominal distance was the result of using increasingly smaller roads and a more convoluted route. The time limit used to be 96 hours too.

I'm unsure what the distance was in recent years, but the first site Google returned suggests 1241 km.

So we've 25 fewer km then.  Or about an hour's riding.  I'm quite thankful the time limits haven't been reduced accordingly though.  :)

Yeah, about 1240km in previous editions.

1214 or whatever, it's long enough.

Just don't mention under distance qualifiers.

No wonder there's such a scramble to get on this New Easier PBP.

Not like the good old days, I tell ye ...

Is there a list of controls with intermediate/cumulative distances anywhere?  I don’t mind writing it down myself from the different gpx legs, but figured it’s probably something that already exists & i’m Just struggling to find it on the website! :)

The PBP 19 site (Home > The Ride > The route) has maps for each stage that shows controls, with corresponding links to GPX downloads at Openrunner.

https://www.paris-brest-paris.org/index2.php?lang=en&cat=randonnee&page=Etape1

Or, of course, the first post of this thread links to https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29026813.

No info on control timings that I can see, though.

Just wondered if it existed as a simple table:
Control 1, 50k, 50k
Control 2, 100k, 150k
Etc

For example that would let me understand what this really means:
“We are expecting early starters to ride at least to Carhaix for their first stop”

I’ll make one up looking at the gpx links,
Cheers

I found this for PBP 15, but it needs simple modifications for the 19 route: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DxiHQfQqvSyVIovnnTZu2F-hMHIfsMdfdCuDB4YuIuI/edit#gid=1448585562

Well we call all agree about that then!, Though I did round down my figures by the odd 0.5 Km.
There  is  less time out and more  back. Someone  will be along soon to  remind us.
Then just  set  up a spread-sheet  to  suit your  start  time  and  calculate the time  splits

Hard to know without knowing what is meant by "early starters".  Anyway they're only trying to nudge - people will stop where they need to, regardless of what anyone says.

To allow more riders to enter PBP'19, we modified the 80h starts. There will be only 5 starts instead of 7, from 04:00pm to 05:00pm.
The special bikes will start at 05:15pm instead of 05:45. By doing so, we will have to more starts for 90h and all start times will put backward by 30 minutes.
We are expecting early starters to ride at least to Carhaix for their first stop, if possible Best and then Fougeres or Villaine on the way back. Otherwise, Loudeac will be a mess despite the extra accommodations that we are implementing.

I interpreted the statement as:
Loudeac will be even worse than most years. Don't say we didn't warn you ...

I infer from their statement that they're expecting most people to ride through to late Monday night before sleeping, and that they expect most early starters to have made Carhaix by then. 

Not having done this before I'm guessing, but Loudeac at 445km seems it would appeal to many based on distance.  Plus I believe it's where the Americans have a bag drop.  I can see why they'd want to encourage people to go further if they can.

Thank you for this =) I see "Accueil" translates to "Home", but what does that mean?  Somewhere to sleep?

^ as above.

You are not obliged to stop at them at all; but they are there to take some of the pressure off the controls and so on.

You will often find them much quieter - I slept in a near empty St Nicolas du Pelem in 2011.

Mortagne on the way out is generally chaos for the 90 hours (only group I've seen it in) (used to be 140km in - so maybe more people will bounce it this time and make use of cafe/bar options for a quick coffee).
Right! What's next?

Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea.  I am in!
