Team BC/Canada scopes out the route to the start


It's not often that guys like Ross Nichol and Keith Patterson
get a chance to ride with the likes of Ken Bonner…


Ross and Keith Nichol at the Start/Finish area


Ouch! This was discovered the morning of the start


ready to go


Brian Westerberg on the way to the start


The 10:30PM 90 hour start, ready to go…


Why didn't I think to bring garlic…


Bob and Deirdre somewhere around Fougeres the first morning


Tracy Barill nearing Fougeres


Up a hill, through a town, past a church, and repeat…


The sign says "aller" but the knees said stop. After some deep soul searching
and a large dose of ibuprophen, I went with the instructions on the sign.


The bridge into Brest. Almost halfway.


My third night on the bike and apparently in need of some sleep!


Jeff Mudrakoff leaving the secret control on night three


Push me pull you recumbent


Darren Inouye


Wim Kok nearing Tinteniac (?)


Free hot coffee!!! Yes please!


Jenny and Patrick at an early morning croissant stop


If I appear to be talking about doing this again in 2011,
could somebody please show me this picture?


Susan Barr on the home stretch


Darren and Susan at 1200km, do we really have to ride another 30km?


Jeff Mudrakoff at the finish - Congratulations!


Back at the hotel, I'm pretty sure that the last 10km were the hardest!


Keith Patterson and Ross Nichol, survivors.
