Want some solo time during the tour? 5 women riders in need of a car
shuttle driver each day, so one of us doesn't have to ride backwards
alone. Your choice of treats provided. We're open to ideas/suggestions.

- answers to questions asked by fellow riders - mostly about food!
Luggage Reminder: your bags WILL BE WEIGHED on the first morning. If they aren't under the weight limits (40 lbs each if you have two bags, or 50 lbs if you have one bag) you will be require to reduce the weight if you expect us to carry it.
Weigh your bag at home to ensure you can meet the weight limit. All bags must have official Tour de Wyoming luggage tags or they WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE LUGGAGE TRUCK.
Rest Stop Food - All of our rest stops will provide - free of charge - an assortment of fruit and cookies; later rest stops will have peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches.
Energy drink is Gatorade.
Water and energy drink will also be available at all rest stops.
If you typically use energy gels or energy bars, you might want to bring a few to have with you "just in case" you need to stave off a bonk.
Evening meals - Civic groups will be offering an evening meal at nearly all of our overnight locations. These meals are optional but typically are geared towards the type of food cyclists like and need.
A vegetarian option will be available with each meal and the costs will range from $8 to $10.
Breakfasts - We have civic groups providing breakfasts most mornings. Typically they consist of pancakes or breakfast burritos, or something similar. These breakfasts are included in the entry fee.
Lunches - Typically you'll be into town near or around lunch time. Note that much of our route lacks towns or other establishments along the way. On long days, we have the peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches. All of our overnight towns have restaurants, although the options may be limited and you'll need patience when the establishments get bombarded with our large group. But food is available for when you get to town and before the evening meal.
