Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP) is one of the oldest cycling "races" in the world. Originally started in 1891, it currently runs every 4 years. Thousands of cyclists from all over the world participate in this 1200km randonneur ride, and only the hardiest finish! Very cool that this year's first finisher is right from our backyard! Nick DeHaan is a beast on a bike, so we wanted to sit down and talk about the race, prepping, his support team, and what's next!
