BC Blog | Vol 8 | Kitchen Tour

Uploaded by Colt McElwaine | June 16, 2009

Last week in Vol. VII Andrew and I talked a little bit about our on bike nutrition. This week we are going to bring you more food, the 497 kitchen video blog, and a peek into a typical night’s meal. We also decided to throw out a “Challenge” and share a couple of photos so you can check out the Yarmouth scene.What are we going to eat at the BC Bike Race? The BC Bike race is all inclusive. What does that mean? The entry fee covers everything. Seven days of racing, lodging in the tent city base camp, which is set up and torn down for you each day as the race moves from one location to the next, showers, shuttles and ferry rides along the route, transportation of luggage between base camps, and most pertinent to vol. VIII, FOOD. Breakfast, Dinner, fully stocked on course aid stations, and finish line snacks are provided each day. Breakfast and dinners are prepared by local caterers and will feature their regional fare. We will be eating what ever food is served and seconds are encouraged. The base camps are also situated in towns with grocery stores and restaurants. The aid stations will have Water, Gatorade, Ultima sports drink, Clif Bars, fruit, HoneyStinger bars and gels, cookies, and Sharkies. The two of us will also be bringing some of our own favorites we listed last week.Our local pizza joint, Pat’s Pizza, has a Sunday night special, all the pizza you can eat for $6. Let’s just say we’e been known to do some damage there. We challenge anyone to out eat the 497 at Pat’s Pizza. Next time you are in Maine, give us a call and we will set it up!
