With not a dickie bird by way of warning from Race Support (or the Dot Watchers, I might add).

In isolation, of course a stolen hat is no game-changer, but when it leads to sun stroke, which leads to riding nocturnally, which not only leads to the aforementioned dog attacks, but also reduces his TITS to the levels of your average commuter cyclist, then it's a pretty big deal.
Anyway, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Have a look at the attached - He had to contend with a hurricane, plus multiple lightning strikes. With not a dickie bird by way of warning from Race Support (or the Dot Watchers, I might add). It's a good job he had the presence of mind to check into that hotel, or we could have been looking at a fatality.
