I missed Jenny's post, so glad I caught this one. Jenny: very well written and photographed. Your "sideways" approach gives at least this reader more social context for the ride. I was surprised and pleased to see a contingent from India (what a huge difference 50 years has made!) and from the Philippines (my mother's country).
Someone told me that the average age of PBP riders is 55: is this accurate? What sort of gearing (chainrings X cogs) is typical? Patrick Moore, who will always and only be a vicarious brevet rider.
