| 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
When a box lunch is included in registration they will be the
only food item that will not be all you can eat. Each participant will be
entitled to one box lunch per day and we will stock only one box lunch per
person. 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 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. Your name will
be written directly on your box lunch so that we know who has pre-paid for
them and can distribute them during the event appropriately so please
do not eat a lunch if it does not have your name directly on it. 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 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.

Box Lunch Items
Our box lunches are composed
of individually sealed, single serving sized items (including
a great dessert) and are delicious, nutritious and fun!
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 and each individual
item is primarily
made from natural and organic ingredients and no item contains trans fats,
high fructose corn syrup, or MSG. Ingredient information is listed on the
label of every item and artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives are
avoided when possible. Each meal is fresh, tastes great, and contains the
perfect amount of food to keep you fueled on your way to the
next stopping town.
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!
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.
When a box lunch is not included in registration, the grab box will
only be available for participants who have purchased a box lunch. |
