I did the Bay to Bay ride a few years agao in Maryland. The volunteer at the last rest stop decided to close it down because he ran out of food, drinks, and other things. Of course he had a phone and could have called for more but didn't. The temps were around 90 and I ran out of water by then. Fortunately a fast food restaurant was close and I had money for a coke.
Another year they though Tang was the same as Gatorade.
