    Even more evidence of chicanery. First, Team Sandals (708) is listed under Family Responder instead of Team, but at least our score was added correctly

    That other team (700), with the nepotism thing and all, has a totally bogus total. Do the math.

    Yes, once Team Sandals is properly classified as Team, and the Family E-Sponders are broken out from the non-e-assist Family Responders, Team 505 moves up from 5th to 3rd in our category :) I didn’t carry 66 pounds of water over my front wheel for 5th place!

    Was that you with the bike with the small front wheel and rack?

    I think this highlights the very important role that family plays in a successful disaster recovery.

    NO COLLUSION!

    Yes, that was me. It’s a Crust Clydesdale fork on a old budget Trek “mountain” bike. Unloaded, the handling is no different than a normal bike, just a little harsh because the fork is so stout. The ride softens up once you get about 20 pounds or two bags of groceries on it. With 7+ gallons of water, it was hard to get started, and called for restrained steering input. I walked it up hills and got off and walked when the path was crowded, because I just couldn’t react very fast. For loads under 50 pounds, it’s great fun and has a smaller footprint than rear trailer. It’s currently my daily commuter.
