The money I save on hotels pays for disc brakes :)
I'm not actually sure. I was 3 from 4 nights bivvy on TP and had a pretty terrible time with my shredded sitbones but I've also done 7 days of the TCR, bivvying only, and still finished so I don't know what the best option is. Maybe because it was so hot in TP I had more salt and wore the skin away quicker in which case hotels w/ showers might've helped but maybe it was just the saddle change that did me over. I think I'll probably try and use hotels a bit more but I do like the simplicity of bivvying.

Are you planning to mostly camp out this time?
I'll take hotels where they are in the right place (and will obviously need one every 5 days to recharge) but am looking forward to a couple of nights under the stars in the mountains. Crappy bus shelters with noisy traffic a bit less so.
