Wow, emily_in_nc and bikemom, that BikeVA sickness sounds nasty. I was sleeping indoors on a gym floor, so running to the school bathrooms was better the portapotties, but a private bathroom with a bidet would have been way better.

I learned my lesson about not eating anything not packaged. I did take off my gloves before going, and had antibacterial hand gel. Thing is I probably should have forced everyone around me to use it. Hopefully the BAK organizers learned some lessons too and there will be some improvements for next year.
