Good shots MB. I'm trying to pick where that creek crossing is in Co. On the road to Salida not far before the climb?

I think so, honestly, I can't remember, I was hallucinating most of that stretch of road!

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.

Brilliant.

That is rather a stinging attack.

What is the reason for the timing? The incidents cited are from 2006 to 2010, so ancient history in relative terms....

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 :|

3 step process for getting the most outta the TD.

1. Read the rules - know them well;
2. Follow the rules - do Matt 'n Mike proud;
3. Ride yer bike. A lot.

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.

OMG. JP has now become Lance Armstrong with a bivi bag.

The only thing worse would be finding out Santa wasn't real.
