Barfing...er..Biking Across Kansas

[mimitabby]

I have one rule when doing organized rides (one-day or multi-day) -- do not eat anything that didn't come in a package. I've gotten sick once -- broke the rule and ate an orange -- will never let it happen again.

Here's what happens. Riders keep their gloves on all day long. They go to the bathroom and also put their hands (with gloves on) into big backets and bins of food at rest stops. It's called the Dirty Glove Bug.

I ALWAYS take my gloves off in the potties. I also like to take a change of gloves with me and change at mid day of a long ride, but your point is VERY valid!


I'm glad for you that you didn't get sick unti the end of the ride though.
How yuccky for you! (and all those other people!)
