Midnight Sun Randonnée 2026 1232 km Where the Sun Never Sets ☀️

I think this report deserves a separate thread – it will be easier to find if anyone wants to go there in the future. 1,232 km – lots of velomobiles. In fact, it was a VM users' meetup, and just me on a Cruzbike S40 recumbent bike. This was my second time doing this brevet. Last time, in 2024, I rode it on a road bike. I am amazed by the beautiful route and the fact that it's daylight 24/7 – that is a total game changer!

Great video. I had been dreaming of flying over to France next year to attempt the PBP but I think I'd almost maybe prefer to try this one! It would be great to see what kit you have on your s40. How do you find it maintaining a straight line over such distances on the cruzbike? I think I'd probably get too tired and steer into a ditch
