That’s my randonneur number at the 17th edition of the Paris Brest Paris.
It’s suddenly around the corner now but I have very positive news: first of all I’ve almost resolved all knee pain issues involving the Patella and the underlying cartilage by moving the saddle post up 1 cm. Seems incredible that such a little adjustment could make such a difference: but it does and the effects where immediate. I went for my usual 65Km training ride and came back with no pain whatsoever. It felt like a miracle. I also moved the saddle a little bit forward and went for another ride two days later: perfect.
I guess it is just down to too much pressure applied hundreds (thousands) of times on a knee that is too bent.
The second great news is that this is my record year with over 3000Km already ridden which means that I hope to get to PBP in great shape, lighter, stronger and trained. Mentally I couldn’t be happier 
I just have to stay focused and keep riding 200KM a week and maybe go for a couple of 200Km rides.
The third great news is that I will have a support team of two to follow me at checkpoints during this adventure. Yes I know I should be doing it all by myself in true randonneuring style.. but I want to document the adventure, have videos and picture to remember the experience. So it will be slightly easier and yes I’ll have someone taking care, feedinge and supporting me morally but I will try to be way faster than the 90 hours I am allowed.
