Paris-Brest-Paris is one of the most prestigious long distance amateur cycling events in the world.
It is held once every 4 years and is being held August 20-24, 2007.
With 750 Miles and 31,000 Feet of Climbing that must be completed in 90 Hours,
"PBP" is considered one of the toughest cycling events anywhere.

A journey into nature
Push yourself until the pain comes
Until you think you can not survive
And then go on

Here the ego will let go
Here you will be purified
Here is the moment of true prayer
Where you will feel the power of the universal language
Eco-Challenge 1996

Originating in 1891, the 1,200 Kilometer non-stop Paris-Brest-Paris ride has endured to become cycling's oldest.

Encouraged by the success and notoriety of the 1891 "PBP", a Frenchmen started the modern Olympics.

The Tour de France was started in 1903, also inspired by Paris-Brest-Paris.

PBP was ran as a Pro-Race in 1891, 1901, 1911, 1921, 1931, and 1951.    A "Randonneurs" class was added in 1931 when the Audax Club Parisien started that class and was then continued in 1948, 1951, 1956, 1961, 1966, 1971, 1975, 1979, 1983, 1987, 1991, 1995, 1999, and 2003.    The 2007 PBP will be 16th running of the PBP "Randonneurs" by the Audax Club Parisien. Thanks to Bill Bryant for this history.

In order to qualify for "PBP", the rider must complete 4 timed qualifying rides known as Brevets. Overall time limits vary for each Brevet according to the distance -- 13:30 for the 200 KM, 20 Hours for the 300 KM, 27 Hours for the 400 KM, and 40 Hours for the 600 Kilometer Brevet. These are non-stop, unsupported events where the clock doesn't stop. Regardless of what the rider is having to deal with, if the rider is Off the Bike, the clock keeps on ticking -- just like Paris-Brest-Paris!!
