emily_in_nc - yes it was definitely terrible running back and forth to the port-a-potties. By the time I'd make it back to my tent, I would have to walk back again.
I only was sick day 4, and this didn't start until after I finished that day. I knew I wasn't feeling well since I had more difficulty than usual on the hills. I chose not to ride day 5 since I was so weak. By the time I broke camp, I had no more energy. My hassle was that I had a very long drive back to St. Louis to begin that day.
Kathi - I think it was 2003. It was the Winchester ride.

Yes, it was the 2003 Bike Virginia that we got sick on. It sounds like they were much more careful that next year, but what happened in 2003 had nothing to do with the food or the organizers not doing something right or careful from what the CDC determined. But I am sure the organizers of the ride didn"t want the ride to get a bad rep, even undeservedly.
