Very nice day and support personnel were good. Completed 100 mile Assateague Route which was overloaded. Waterlines were about 75 -100 cyclists deep so I skipped one rest stop then no water at finish. Think many riders skipped numerous rest spots because I saw them later really really struggling and these guys were going 24-25 MPH - I stuck with them until they passed 2nd rest stop. Was told by regulars they had never seen more than 2 people deep to get water at any rest stop. They need more 5 gallon reservoirs. Most participants were good bike handlers however with ride this size you get some inexeperienced riders then add impact of dehydration. One rider I was following kept hitting his brakes without saying anything and most of the time for no good reason which almost caused me to wreck. So I blew up the group to get away - everyone who joined me said the same thing about 3 riders in that group were not following etiquette/riding techique was poor and group was getting to large. In parking lot I ran into another rider who was on Snow Hill route which she said was empty. Would say I was in contact with at least 30 riders the entire route, even the end where I was dragging/dehydrated.

Also, I went by a bad wreck - 3 or 4 hurt - two ambulances and large support van passed by us about 2 miles down the road so i expect wreck must have just happened. Saw another guy get up, misssed his fall but about 30 seconds before I saw him. His comment to his friends was this was his second fall on this ride. Be careful out there!!
