Have to say I'm a bit disappointed by the number of scratches. Seeing the setup some of them brought though, I'm not surprised. Some seem to think this is some kind of light gravel version of TCR. Saw someone's on Compass tyres, I mean come on, I love those tires but there's not a chance in hell I'd bring them to ride off road in Kyrgyzstan. Someone scratched because she was unsure whether she'd find gluten free food out there? Surely that's something you prepare for beforehand? My god. Rant over.
Being coeliac, I've kind of given up on the idea of doing something like TCR because I think I'll struggle to get enough food on the go. I'd never contemplate something like this, as you'd have to eat what was available, not seek out the Free From aisle in the local supermarket.
Yeah I totally get that it's an issue and something you and many others have to deal with everyday. Just bit weird to fly to the other side of the world to do this race without doing at least Some research beforehand.
