“Thank you for feeding riders! I have nothing but good things about the quesadillas. People raved about the Philly cheesesteak. I think they were happy to finally have a hot meal on a rainy day. They even demolished the leftovers at the finish line (probably a good 70 riders no-showed due to the rain). We’ll definitely be back next year. There are still discussions about a spring vs a fall 2026 tour.”
