Just imagined that it kind of said it on the tin. If something breaks you might expect to not have signal and should have plan b?

Sure, that's why I carry everything I think I'll need to keep going (and my zero scratches up until Transiberica 2021). But he's a former pro, so presumably hasn't had to fend for himself much in the outdoors. I'm constantly amazed at what people think they can get away with at the start of races - either through ignorance of the ride ahead or some kind of weight weenie lunacy. I get it, if you're going all in for the win you might leave stuff out. But I'm not flying all the way to the USA to quit a race on day 3 because something broke.

I found that racing TransAm. There's fuck all signal in the mountains and it's patchy the rest of the route too. I was using Three SIM.
