One of the possibly lesser discussed topics on others' blogs might be that of flatulence, so I just wanted to address the issue, lest it be forgotten!
Let me preempt my rambling by saying that we have all appreciated the food provided for us by the kitchen staff - Lavone and her team have done some very wonderful things inside that kitchen truck, and they continue to amaze us with new savory dishes.
That being said... something in the change in diet that we have all undergone during this tour has caused the large majority of us to experience increased flatulence. At first this was slightly embarrassing because no-one was certain whether it was just themselves, or if others were possibly suffering from similar symptoms. As we grew closer to one another - physically, emotionally... and chemically - we quickly realized that nearly everyone was powered by more than just their legs - we were now gas-powered!
Early on, most people tried to be somewhat modest in their emitting of the aforementioned substances, however it did not take long before all caution was thrown to the wind and one could hear a symphony of farts blasting from tents in all directions. It would be great if this were the only place that farting was witnessed, however, several riders have been so bold as to fart in the gear truck, in the dinner line, and other unmentionable places! I must admit, I'm not innocent on this matter, but i do strongly advocate for a return to our more modest days when one didn't have to worry about what type of scents one experienced around camp, and we could simply appreciate the lovely aroma coming from the kitchen truck.
Enough said!
