Warning, young cyclists: this video is proof that the Paris-Brest-Paris Randonneur is a hard and addictive drug! Richard Léon is 71 years old; he completed his first PBP in 1975, and he’s been back every four years ever since! With his great wisdom and the enthusiasm of the young man he still is at heart, he reflects on his passion and his withdrawal from the race in 1983, in Carhaix. A real lesson for him… and one that could be valuable for those planning to take the starting line for the 2027 ride!
Thank you, Richard, and see you very soon for your 14th PBP!
