On the whole food debate, although I didn't do the ride this year, I have in the past, and have done a fair few other sportives.
I think if you're fussy about getting bars / gels etc on board during a ride, you should always play it safe and take your own. On 'smaller' sportives such as this you shouldn't expect that there's going to be a science lab full of stuff awaiting you at the stops, and if you don't go prepared then you need to accept that beggars can't be choosers really.
