I guess the bike and the race number makes it fairly self-explanatory. Just wondered about the reactions you get if someone discovers you when they're not expecting it.

I presume when they get over the initial shock they'd ask for an autograph or a selfie if they're really bold.

I'm just a cyclist sheltering from the weather. Most people are pretty nonplussed about a soggy solo rider. Normally I'll be in places away from public view but sometimes I just don't care. Most people are concerned - I've tried to nap on a patch of grass and without fail, 10min later, no matter how few cars have been through, someone will come past and think I've crashed. Took me ages to explain to someone one night I was "just stretching" and I was ok. It was 5am and I was lying on some grass beside the road trying to get a powernap.

You don't have a race number. The bike could be anything.
You hear the odd story of riders being moved along, but more often than not they get shown somewhere better to sleep.
When you are tired it is amazing how quickly you can find somewhere good enough to sleep.

The church was at night, so was the bin store. The garage was in the middle of the day but I'm pretty sure they'd understand why I was in there. I didn't actually have the bivvy out for the last two, I'd just gone inside and laid on the dirt/concrete and fallen asleep.
