PBP Plaquettes

BC Randonneurs Cycling Club


Paris Brest Paris - 1961 (#5)
Audax Club Parisien Bulletin, October / November / December 1961
(39 pages)

The publication is reproduced in its entirety below. Although most of the booklet is devoted to coverage of PBP 1961, there is also extensive coverage of another event: "La Journee Velocio". I have left these pages (20-32) in for general interest. Thanks to Ben Van Kasteren from the Netherlands for sending scans of the 1961 ACP Bulletin.
