Welcome, DBC, RBW, and PMC Friends!

You have found my PBP blog. As I type this, all of my gear is packed and ready to go--airport shuttle arrives at 5:45 a.m. We're leaving tomorrow, but it will be Wednesday, Paris time, by the time we can get to the hotel and start working on getting rid of jet lag. Then, a few days to relax and see Paris before the fun starts!
Remember to check back for updated reports. The ride starts for us at 5 a.m. on Tuesday the 21st (Paris time). I hope to blog from the ride, assuming I can find a computer in the little French villages we will be riding through.
See you online!
