If you can go, do.

If you can't, and you're concerned that you might, factor in a coffee stop.

If you can't, and you don't want to factor in a coffee stop, take wet wipes and a carrier bag. Then perhaps keep the package handy for an inconsiderate motorist, or if you live near me, pop it over Nigel Farage's garden wall (does his lovely English roses the world of good).

Incidentally, I've been dropping bombs as I typed this. Ironic, eh?

I seem to recall an anecdote concerning a TdF rider (maybe Sean Yates?) who had some toilet trouble on the road, did a rather sloppy one while still riding, wiped as well as he could and discarded the soiled paper. A young fan apparently thought it was a collectable souvenir and ran along the road to grab it.

Abject apologies to anyone about to have breakfast.
On the stage held the day before he died, Tommy Simpson deposited copious amounts of diahorrea all over his bike, his legs, everywhere. Some poor bugger was detailed to clean it all up.

He's probably still be with us today, had he needed the warning signs.

(Simpson, that is, not the sh!t monkey)

Wasnt it Greg Lemond had a dump in one of his domestiques caps ?
It was Lemond that had a bad dose of the squits and made an impromptu toilet out of a stack of Hinault's publicity photos when he realised the motorhome had no toilet.

On Embarrassing Bodies, it was phone books that they recommended putting under one's feet in order to achieve the squatting position on the bog.

Edit: Wrong poo thread! How often does that happen?

A scary book would do the trick.
