Is there still a need for a support vehicle? I have a CR-V with roof rack. If someone has a bike rack to toss on the back I can haul bikes + their injured riders, kegs, and whatever else necessary (no dead bodies, please).
Let me know, suckas!

T-minus 5 days till BC 4.0, so make sure you can find your headlamp and spork, bolt on that rack, patch that hole in your sleeping pad, practice that hammock lashing and prepare for a liver lashing it's almost time to go bike camping
Meet up time has been updated in the first post, 9:30 am at the Ballard Market on Saturday.
Main course will be tacos: Carne Asada for the majority meaties, fish for the pesky pescitarians, black beans for the very veggies, and grass for the "you have to be kidding me" vegans.

if you haven't seen it, here's the route:
part 1 part 2
if the link doesn't work try it again. bikely sucks like that.
a cool 46 miles to south whidbey island state park.
any bike will be fine. there is only a tiny section of nice packed gravel.
there will be a few hills, but nothing like last year's egg and i.
gears recommended, but in no way needed.
and if you can, carry your own shit, the support vehicles will be loaded with food and cripples.
snacks and additional groceries can be had at the start.
and just in case the morning is shit there is an really quick but lame way to get back via the highway and interurban trail. it knocks off about 8 to 10 miles.
am i missing anything?
andre, you should put this in the original post.

I never did get an actual response on this - is a support vehicle still needed? If so, I need someone to message me with some additional information, like route...
Also, a bike rack that straps over a spare tire would be good so that bikes don't have to be stacked inside the vehicle, increasing capacity for humans and their bikes, not to mention excess gear (or a keg)...
Please let me know soon so that I can plan for this, and let me know who, if anyone, has a bike rack that could be used for this purpose.
Cheers,
Wendy
