That happens here! And is why I don't use a water bottle on the mtb (hydration pack only) and when you do tours here they are recommended as well. And NEVER take any food at a SAG stop when they hand food items out without using gloves, or allow riders to reach into a bowl and take cut food items (bananas would be ok or anything wrapped). E coli is nasty and can spread quickly among a group.
