In this episode of the PBP After Party, I have a wide-ranging discussion with Rob Hawks, Regional Brevet Administrator for the San Francisco Randonneurs. We talk about Rob's 2019 ride, his advice for riders looking forward to 2023, and about the future of randonneuring and PBP.
Rob's experience and expertise are unparalleled, and every randonneur can learn something from our conversation. Check it out!
Topics discussed include:
--Why the rate of abandons was so high in 2019
--International standards (or lack thereof) for qualifying brevets
--Traditional vs modern bikes at PBP
--Future of randonneuring: How to attract and retain younger riders in the sport
--Rob's recommendations for PBP
The PBP After Party is the place for riders to share their experiences at PBP 2019--high points, low points, stories, and advice. Email me for information about how you can be featured in a future episode: campyonlyguy [at] me [dot] com
