Food & Beverage Plan
The below information is not for the 2017 ride, this will be updated as soon as we have confirmed information
We will update this page with detailed menu items as we finalize arrangements with the various caterers.
FOOD IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CYCLE ZYDECO! After all, Lafayette was voted the Best Food Town in The USA by RandMcNally & USA Today in 2011. Then in 2012 Southern Living Magazine selected Lafayette as the “Tastiest Town”. We have much to offer you during the ride and there will be plenty of opportunities for you to explore food options on your own. All of the SAG that are stage by Rhonda & Alice will have Zydeco Bars available for the riders.
BEVERAGES: In 2013 we added stops at Parish Brewing & Bayou Teche Brewery to the route. On Fridays there is always a party at Bayou Teche Brewery in Arnaudville. SAGs will include Kentwood water, Coca-Cola products including PowerAde. At the end of each day we provide products from Coca-Cola. Every morning we will have Coca-Cola products and Community Coffee ready for you. In 2016 we will have tickets available for you to get complimentary beer and wine at specific points during the ride.
