The Food Crew is responsible for all aspects of providing two-three meals per day for all Bike Rally participants. The Food Crew is divided into two teams, each guided by a team captain who works closely with the Food Crew Steering Committee member, who has overall responsibility. The teams work on alternate meals in order to break up the work day and to ensure adequate staffing at the various locations where meals are provided. A catering company travels with the Food Crew and is responsible for supplying the majority of the food and meal preparation dishes. In addition, Rider teams are assigned to assist the Food Crew with serving and cleaning up. A day in the life of a Food Crew memberThe days begin early on the Bike Rally! Food Crew members have to get up, tear down their tent, pack up their belongings and gear, have a good breakfast and be on the road by 9:00 a.m. Once breakfast is done (breakfast is served from 6:15-7:00 am) and all equipment and supplies have been packed up, it's on to lunch where the Food Crew lunch team does it all again. Lunch is generally served around 11:30 or 12:00, depending on when the Food Crew arrives and when the Riders begin arriving. Lunch gets “shut down”once the last of the Riders and Crew arrive. After lunch, the Food Crew moves on to the campsite for the night. Food Crew members have time to set up their tents and get settled before the supper rush. A snack table is also set up by the Food Crew to ensure arriving Bike Rally participants don't starve before supper is served (generally from 6:00 – 8:00 PM). Evening activities planned by Event Relations generally begin at 8:30 p.m. General duties
