The longest event you complete in 2026 will give you an earlier registration time for PBP 2027 with 1200/1000 being the first group (that means probable domestic 1200 if u want)
I got a “I” tourist group while only completing a 400 in 2022. The group I wanted was group “G” the first in tourist/90h class.
There are lots of different strategies for PBP - let’s talk about those when you get a 400 completed.
looks like a fun ride, maybe a bummer to skip the santa monica coast section though? also odd choice of coffee shop control in Oceanside as there are better places along the 101 (revolution, high tide)
