She has to get to Austin some how. :)
I think she is also going to Interbike which is mid September so she has lots of time.

So, a race director witnesses a rider cheating but doesn't disqualify him? Seems a bit odd to me, then bottle the experience up for 9 years and then complain about it

tl:dr
skip to end "Cheatervary"
Haha. I heard a lot of chatter on TD this year about him really bitching and whining that he didn't win, and accusing others of cheating etc.

I've read a couple of things recently which make Curiak come across as someone who is now quite bitter and dismissive of the bikepacking race scene.
