The simple answer is that if it was 96 hours anyone could do it. I think there is a a minimum speed you are expected to ride plus a minimum number hours of sleep you are allotted and this adds up to 90 hours.
I have completed two 1200k Randonnees on my Rambouillet, BMB 2006 and PBP 2007. It takes a huge commitment to train and qualify for a 1200k and life has caught up with me for the last few years. This year I am in the hunt to do a 1000k and shoot for PBP next year and I will still be riding my Rambouillet. Larry Powers Get a bicycle.
