Hard day of manual labour on the fells and fields? Exhausted and exposed to the weather? What you need is some proper peasant food that’s tasty and powerful.
Rustic Italian Ribollita
This rustic Italian soup, a bit like a minestrone, is made with beans, cabbage, veg and bread and will have you jumping straight back on to the saddle of your iron steed and eager to tackle the second half of the ride!
Chickpea, sweet potato and spinach soup
A particularly good soup for endurance, chickpeas are a virtually fat-free source of protein and carbohydrate and are high in minerals and fibre.
Energy Bars
Home made Yorkshire Parkin by Maggie McSherry, stick some in your pocket to power your way back. Home made energy bars made from nuts, dates and mixed fruits. Bananas for an energy hit.
Unlimited hot drinks
Unlimited tea and coffee for all riders and support team at the start and at the feedstation.
Simply Delicious (and local)
All of the food is made locally, the bread is from Barwise in Bentham, the Parkin is made by us, the tea and coffee is fair trade and the soups and energy bars are made by brilliant local caterer Simply Delicious. Do you know a better feedstation in the UK?
