What does it take to keep 5,500 cyclists going strong for two days and 190 miles? Strength, determination, and of course, food!

More than 3,000 volunteers and 200 corporations will supply the resources that keep riders pedaling hard to support adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Favorite PMC snacks include peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, trail mix, Clif Barsbeer, and a whole lot of bananas!

While the bikes may not run on fuel, the riders sure do! So, exactly how much food does it take to fuel cyclists through 46 towns across Massachusetts?
