I had that feeling too. I've done a bit of cycling and general travelling in central asia and through the Himalayas and it just seems a bit mental to be holding a race there where by its nature, participants will be by themselves. Its not really the state of some of the roads, but the altitude, changeable conditions and the remoteness that can cause problems. Someone that starts pushing themselves, and starts having altitude problems as a result could quite quickly be in serious trouble.
