•  These routes will be driven by our team the weekend before and checked for accuracy and any potential issues. That being said, please follow posted signage on ride day in case of any last-minute adjustments, and download the most recent Ride with GPS files for your route.

•  PLEASE use caution when you begin your ride and leave the start line onto 104th avenue.  We do not stop traffic there, please check for cars before you pull out onto the road.

•  There’s one particular corner in Hamilton that often has our directional sign go missing. We will be painting the route markings on the road at that one spot as well, so keep your eyes peeled.

•  PLEASE take extra caution when crossing busy roads like M-40 and M-89. And be advised that Saugatuck/Douglas are as busy as ever during tourist season.

You need to check-in with us, either Friday evening, or Saturday morning before you ride to collect your bracelet and route maps if you're not using Ride with GPS.

Your bracelet will be required for food and support on the course throughout the day. No exceptions. YES, you can pick up bracelet(s) for others!

The course officially opens at 7:00 a.m. EDT Saturday morning. If you elect to leave prior to that, you acknowledge that the course is unsupported by SAG at that time, and you may reach the checkpoints earlier than food and beverage are ready.

There are 100, 67, 34 and 17 mile routes. Pick up color-coded maps or tip sheets when you check in, or check them out above. The routes are marked by yellow “HH” signs, with corresponding color flags on the top of each.

Routes are also available to download at Ride with GPS, they offer spoken turn by turn directions, as well as an interactive map.

We ask that more serious cyclists start as close to 7:00 a.m. as possible.

Riders planning to do the 100 mile route must start no later than 8:00 a.m.

All riders must depart by 10:00 a.m.

The course closes at 5:00 p.m., and all rest stops will close at the times posted on the map, pre-ride email and below.

Leaving the Start Line: As you’re rolling out onto 104th, please note we don’t stop traffic,  pay attention to traffic and to any volunteer and police assistants. Thanks!

Take extra care through Saugatuck and Douglas, during this always-busy tourist season and ever-present construction season.

*** Please remember, the Holland 100 takes place on an open course on public streets exposed to traffic. Streets may be Michigan-y (cracks, potholes, chipseal, etc.). You are required to wear a helmet, and to follow the law at all times (obey all traffic signals, ride only 2-abreast). Seriously, we get complaints about this every year, from riders, drivers, neighbors, and more. Be smart, courteous, and follow the law. Please. And THANKS. ***

We encourage you to make good decisions on Saturday to ensure you finish the ride safe, sound, and smiling*.

A few tips:

•  Start early. The course officially opens at 7:00 a.m. EDT. You can start earlier, but please know you may reach our rest stops earlier than they open and our SAG support will not be available until the course opens at 7am.

•  Drink more water than you think you need to. Refill your bottles each time you stop. Consider one bottle with water and the other with Gatorade.

•  Drink before you're thirsty. It's really hard to 'catch up' on hydration once you're behind.

•  Get enough electrolytes and salt in your drink or the food you eat.

•  Rest in the shade when you stop for food/drink.

•  If storms pop up, take shelter.

•  Wear sunscreen and re-apply it throughout the day.

•  Listen to your body. If you start to get a little headache or feel some cramps or feel a bit dizzy, take a break to eat and drink.

•  When you get back to the finish, if you're not feeling right, please talk with one of our staff, don’t get in your car and drive away if you aren’t feeling right.

*Safe, sound, and smiling is a term attributed to a JDRF cycling coach from South Carolina, who always used that term the night before rides in Death Valley, CA. We think it's pretty great, and will do everything we can to support you in coming back SS+S as well.

Tech support will be available at all rest stops, as well as on the road.

Emergencies or injuries requiring medical attention, please dial 911.

Non-emergency questions or requests for tech support, please wave down a SAG vehicle or call us (phone provided in the ride day email) and we'll do our best to dispatch someone ASAP. If you need to contact us for a non-emergency before the event, use ride@holland100.com.

Our traditional pancake breakfast will be available at the East Saugatuck Church stop. At the other stops, we’ll be providing a mix of typical ride foods: PB&J, bananas, pretzels, pickles/pickle juice shots, granola, watermelon, etc. We will provide water and portioned out Gatorade to mix in, if you wish.

Join us at the finish line for a delicious celebration featuring locally made gelato from Palazollo’s. 

We are excited to announce the return of our local food trucks, who will be stationed at the finish line with hot food ready for purchase.

• Olly’s Donuts
