Daily breakfast, 8 lunches, 2 social hours, 8 dinners, and all snacks and drinks for each day
On our Portland to Missoula trip, you will encounter a broad array of regional cuisine. Following each day’s ride you will dine at the best restaurant the town has to offer (taking proximity to the hotel into account)—from simple, hearty dinners to downright decadent nouvelle cuisine. Breakfast will usually be a hot buffet or, on occasion, from a menu. For lunches, most days your guides set up “feed zones” at designated spots along the route. These are quick lunch stops providing sandwich fixings, light salads, fresh fruits, sweet and savory snacks, energy products and beverages—designed to enable riders to maintain momentum. Trek Travel will also have a range of Clif energy products on hand for whenever you need a boost. If you require a specific brand of energy product we recommend bringing an adequate supply for your personal needs as there will be little opportunity to restock on this trip. Dinners are a great time to refuel while exchanging tales from the day, but we also realize that after long days of riding, rest is best. Therefore, many dinners on long-mileage days will be buffet style, simple and quick, maximizing your time to rest and recuperate. When possible, in larger towns or after shorter days of riding, you’ll dine at finer restaurants selected to showcase the spice and flair of the region. You'll have one dinner and one lunch where you are free to dine wherever you choose. Trek Travel does not provide alcohol with dinner, but we will offer some evening social hours on the first and last evening where wine and beer will be provided.
PLEASE NOTE: as with our accommodation options across the country, there will be some meals that may not meet with every rider's quality standards due to limited options in some of the small towns along the way.
