This years SoTCR award went to Tim Arnold, (rider 95). Tim travelled to the start line in London from Switzerland in order to see the start of the race. He contacted us to say that he would have all of his gear with him and intended to go on an adventure with or without a place in the TCR, but that if there was a spot free, he was ready. He hadn’t told half his family he was going, let alone anyone else. Tim was unsponsored, unassuming and showed up in London for the adventure, not the kudos. He rode a purposeful steel Fuji touring bike with some old school cantilever brakes and epitomised the sentiment that for a real adventure you just need the bike you have, and the will to go, not the latest gear or a tracker or a race number.
In the Q&A a few posts up, Mike H has said he originally entered the Tour Divide to disrupt Ben Fogle/James Cracknell's planned attempt at the record... might not be too averse to you doing something similar...

Is it too late to enter? I feel like smokin' a few bikepackers with a pimped out TT rig, stayin in hotels the whole way could be fun :)
