Title: Bordeaux-Paris 600, June 2010
Post by: Jethro on 11 May, 2009, 02:34:14 pm

Very early I know, but would anyone else care to join me on this ride next year?

ACP,  I think.

3 different time categories.  Google Bordeaux-Paris Randonneurs for more info which should answer your questions as I know nothing else at the moment.

keep an eye on the site of the Dutch club ern, www-ern-ossendrecht.nl. Every few years a bus is organised to Bordeaux-Paris by this club.

I like the sound of this one - I would have to go for the Ranndonneur standard as not quick enough for the Sportive.

Plenty of information on the 2008 edition here (http://www.cyclos-cyclotes.org/bp/index_ang.html).

Re randonneur standard is sub 37 hrs for a 600, the tourist version gives you 59 hrs and the "Sportif" sub 27.......
The first part of the course is relatively flat (as compared to crossing Wales , in the manner of the BCM...) I will try and mail them to find out if they are offering this as a BRM with a view of the pre-registration requirements of PBP...
As you can gather the seed has been planted  :smug:
