The 2016 event is in the books, but we'll leave this page up so you can see how we pull things together for the Holland 100. We're always looking to improve--if you have any suggestions, send them our way at ride@holland100.com.
PACKET PICK-UP
The OFFICIAL packet pick-up location:Our Brewing Company

*Note: .gpx files are the most common GPS data format, and work with most GPS units. If you open the file on a computer or non-GPS device, it will appear as a bunch of code. Save the file, plug your GPS unit into your computer, and move the file to your device.
THE START AND FINISH
The Holland 100 starts from and finishes at the Greenhouse facility at Herman Miller. While there is a great deal of parking, we recommend you carpool with others if at all possible.
The shower facilities inside the Herman Miller Greenhouse are available post-ride until 4:00 p.m.
THE FOOD
Not many bike tours can boast a full-on pancake breakfast during the ride. One of your rest stops includes pancakes and coffee to get that day off to a great start (thanks to Holland Christian Schools South Side Transportation and Simpatico Coffee).The other rest areas have the perfect fuel to get you through the day, too. Sponsored by our friends at Hope College TRiO Upward Bound, you can expect meat & cheese roll-ups, PB&J, pretzels, fruit, granola and other ride day staples. Our volunteers will also hook you up with fresh water or energy drink if you wish.
The finish line will have great snacks and water provided by SpartanNash (AKA our friends at Family Fare and D&W stores!) and a limited supply of iced coffee bottles from Simpatico Coffee.
THE SUPPORT
The start/finish line and each rest stop will be staffed with experienced bike mechanics to help you solve any issues that may come up during the ride.Additionally,SAG support will be on the course to help transport you and your disabled bike to the next rest stop for repair. Please note, SAG cannot transport tired riders--only those with legitimate mechanical issues.
New this year, the EPS Security cycling team will be on the course as safety ambassadors, providing guidance and minor mechanical assistance if needed. Look for the yellow jerseys.
