On a few large rides I've filled vans and pickups. However, true, it
isn't a problem - for one thing, you don't have just one sag. Large
multiride events are the most likely times for one van filling up.
where one sag has t cover a hundred riders or more ad does a trailing
sag all the way. Even then you can run back and empty, even though it
will be a while before you catch back up (people that have never done
sag for some reason think that covering a 50 mile loop is almost
instantaneous in a car).
As I mentioned in an earlier post, its not a problem for the sagwagon
even then. The person on the side of the road can be given three
choices, more or less, when the sag is near full - stash your bike and
take this sag back to the start/finish and drive back i nyour own car,
wait for the next sag, or wait and have someone else with the
necessary hardware drive back. If you are sitting on the side of the
road until a sagwagon comes that can load your Double Vision tandem,
you could be there a while. Maybe an empty Greyhound...
