We ate here last year and found the food to be relatively good--
relative, that is, to what's available on the trail. It's greasy, but
if you're riding 40 miles a day (as we were), you'll burn those
calories and more off anyway. We found that the key to appreciating
the food available along the trail is to keep your expectations low;
do that and you'll sometimes be pleasantly surprised. When some
friends and I took a trip July 13th and 14th of this year (2009), one
friend had to ride a very small, very poorly built Mongoose "mountain"
bike. To make a long story short, we got a flat, "patched" it with
electrical tape (it was the best we had), and rode to Rocheport. When
we got to the bike shop around 4 pm, the mechanic had left for the day
due to the lack of business. The woman working, though, was
exceptionally helpful and found just the tire we needed. We payed $12
for a new tire and $5 for a new tube--not too bad.
