When the tough get going,do they forget things like civility,decency, camaraderie.No they become more polite,gentller towards all those who may not be as gifted as they are,or may not have planned as well as them.
Does this give a license to all those who were not tough enough to be rude or impolite NO.
Please smile at the curious kid who touches your imported bicycle.Say hullo to the surprised villager,take the time to answer the truckers query,chat up the chaiwallah , and INQUIRE of the Controles if they need anything.
REMEMBER THE PARTICIPANT HAS TO GO TO THE CONTROLE NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND!!!
A situation was created during our 2nd BRM the 300kms, Which I personally found very embarassing if not distressing.
