Next year, we plan to have bananas available at the start and at most rest stops. The chocolate milk was popular and we will greatly increase the supply. The same goes for roasted potatoes. We'll also address the issue of slow food service in La Honda. My staff had compiled a list of issues that need correcting. All are related to new locations and to new foods. We will do our best to address the issues by next year.

We really appreciate our riders, and had no intention of short changing them. We look forward to seeing you again.
