Some Stats and Comments
PBP'19 had the largest field of riders ever. Yet that was hard to tell as you biked down the road or went through the checkpoints. The event was just as manageably orchestrated as usual.
Some stats courtesy of Mark Thomas:
- US finishing rate was 65.5%, slightly lower than the rainy, soggy PBP'07 (!).
- RMCC finishing rate was 76.5%, third highest of US clubs with 10 or more riders.
- Overall PBP finishing rates in recent years:
1991 79.9%
1995 83.1%
1999 83.3%
2003 85.0%
2007 69.9%
2011 81.2%
2015 78.6%
2019 68.2%

As I've said before, one thing remains constant: the amazing feat pulled off every four years by the ACP, their volunteers, and the towns along the route.
