90 hour special start for me, if I make it.
Any average to decent paced recumbmentalist and other special people needn’t worry too much about queues in the 90 hour start. You end up in a nice hole between the vedettes and the normal (for PBP) folk behind you. It’ll only be the fast ones that overtake.
I’m at the slow end of average (87.5 hours) and in 2015 only queued for food briefly at Carhaix, after I woke up, and Mortagne. My only delay was waiting for someone to figure out how to use the till at Loudeac.
Carhaix beds were only a third full and on the return there were only 3 people asleep at Quedillac, so I stopped there instead of pushing on to Tinteniac and woke up to a full dorm and car-free roads.
FWIW when I did it on my road bike in 2011, I quite enjoyed being in the bulge and the busy controls. Two very different experiences, both good.
As for the 84 hour. I could probably cut enough faff to be quick enough but starting a ride in the early hours is not for me. I don’t sleep well before these rides, so I may as well be pedaling.
