Food

Riders Nutrition (6 days X 4 riders)
We'll need to fuel up round the clock to keep the riders on a solid nutrition plan. When you race for 6 days straight on next to no sleep every meal is critical. This is the foundation of a nutrition plan that will be supplemented with liquid fuel such as Infinit. Riders will eat about 4 or 5 meals a day ($35 food days)! And we'll need to provide 4 riders for 6 days (24 food days).
