| POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Box Lunches
A box lunch will be available
at a pre-designated rest stop every day. They are a great break from the
standard
rest stop
snack items and a unique feature of our events!
Availability
The box lunches will be the
only food item that will not be all you can eat.
Your name will be written directly on your box lunch so that we know who
has pre-paid for them so that everyone gets the lunch they are entitled
to and we can distribute them during the event appropriately.
Please do not eat a lunch if it does not have your name directly on it.
We will stock only one box lunch per person, so if you were to
take more
than
one
box lunch another rider (most likely
the last
one)
would
be left
without
one
so
please
only take
one.
If
you are
still hungry we will still have a complete selection of our all you can
eat snack items available at every lunch stop.
When a box lunch is included in registration, each participant will be entitled
to one box lunch per day.
When a box lunch is not included in registration, they
must be purchased before the event to ensure availability. We absolutely
cannot guarantee their availability the day of the event. If any box
lunches are available during the event itself they will be for sale for
$10.00 cash per box lunch. Click
Here for our policies and procedures regarding
purchases during our events.
Box lunches and the grab box will only be available at the designated rest
stop location each day. If you choose not to eat your box lunch there at
that time
you will forfeit it. We cannot give it to you at another rest stop,
at the end of the ride, or on a future date. Box Lunch Items
Our box lunches are composed
of individually sealed, single serving sized items (including
a great dessert) and are delicious, nutritious, satisfying,
and taste great! We're not talking about military rations or low-quality
snack foods packed with chemicals and unhealthy, processed ingredients.
Each meal is nutritionally complete for the needs of cyclists, is
balanced to limit overall fat, saturated fat and sugar content, and
contains the perfect amount of food to keep you fueled on your way to the
next stopping town. Each
individual item is made from the finest quality natural and organic wholesome
ingredients and
no item contains partially hydrogenated
oils (trans fats), high fructose corn syrup, peanut ingredients, or added
monosodium glutamate (MSG) and every item is free of artificial flavors
or colors. Ingredient information
is also listed
on the
label of each individual item so that every meal can to modified to meet
specific indivdual dietary needs.
The lunches are ready to eat anytime right out of the
box and will always be available when you want, not during some pre-set
times when lunch will only be available. They
are a thousand times more convenient and safe than standard, cold cut
style lunches served on most other bicycle events. You don’t have
to worry about food spoiling in the heat with our box lunches because
they can be stored anywhere without refrigeration and they do not require
any cooking, heating, or preparation. If you don’t finish your
box lunch and want to have an item later, you can also easily take it
with you
on the
road since each box lunch item is individually packaged and sealed. Everything
you need is already included in each box such as utensils, a napkin,
and a moist towelette to help
you to freshen up when you're done. Each box is also individually packed
and sealed, eliminating the typical "pickers" of good stuff
from a buffet line, a huge benefit for our slower riders!
Box Lunch Types and Item Selection
On multi-day events several different varieties of box lunches will be served
throughout the event, so you may receive the same type of box lunch a couple
times on different days. All participants will receive the same type of box
lunch each day.
On single-day events the box lunch varieties are subject to availability
and we cannot guarantee the type of box lunch you will receive.

more information on the box lunch item selection.
Grab Box
Naturally, some participants will not be able to finish their box lunches
or prefer some items more than others, and we will have a "grab
box" available of leftover box lunch components.
If you don’t care for an item from your box lunch, please put it in
the grab box so it is not wasted and if you are still hungry, you can take
an
item out of the grab box.
A couple items in each box lunches will contain meat, but these items
can easily be swapped out with items in the grab box to meet the needs
of vegetarians, and other items can easily be replaced to meet the needs
of other dietary
restrictions,
such as food allergies.
The grab box will
only be available for participants who have purchased a box lunch. |
