Quickly : 
1 - good start with a flat, I am being careful until Mortagne au Perche. 
2 - struggling to find a group to ride with : too fast, or just hiding behind me. 1st CP is more than 200km away from the start, I make it at 1am. 
3 - mostly by myself at the end, in a headwind and in the night. Slow but feeling good. CP3 in the early morning, I have a glimpse of Fiona and Mark is there. He feels like resting a bit, I hit the road again.
4 - arriving to Brest, CP6, at 9pm. Not so bad, decide to ride a 2nd night, hoping for a better pace.
5 - this is really, really slow. I found a companion during the night, good to keep me awake, but not at finding confidence. And it is freezing out there.
6 - meeting Xavier in Carhaix, CP7. He's going good with a nice group and I am tired of riding by myself. I'll try to stick with the group.
7 -  lost the guys just before secret CP, in St Nicolas du Pélem, but bumped into Didier out of nowhere, saving me from taking a wrong turn.
8 - meeting Xavier again in CP8 and this time for good. I still have not slept at all so we start together after I take a 15min nap.
9 - end of ride is mostly about accepting we won't do it in less than 60 hours so we might as well eat a good and fresh sandwich (who is fancing crêpes anyway ?), sleep another 15min nap and eventually ride a 3rd cold night together and without sleep.
10 -Oh wait, we actually could not resist anymore and took a fancy 40min rest (40 is more than a nap, isn't it ?) in Villaine-la-Juhel, CP11. Now it is only Xavier, Guigui and I. That is a good team, and we are having fun all the way to Rambouillet, some tired kind of fun.

NOW WHERE IS THE BEST PARIS-BREST IN PARIS ?
