We've got you covered with a great selection of options from high-quality energy bars to delicious 'real food' options. We provide variety at each rest stop with attention to gluten-free and vegetarian options, so there will be something to satisfy your hunger no matter what your dietary restrictions or riding goals.

​NOTE: We make every attempt to offer a variety of options for all dietary needs. HOWEVER, if you have a specific dietary need or concern, PLEASE bring snacks for yourself in addition to the options we provide to ensure you have what you need.
