Holland Arrival

So we got to Holland this evening after stopping to have dinner at Noodles and Co. We went to get our rooming assignments and learned we cant check in for the ride untill tomorrow morning.

So after unloading the trailer, and putting stuff away in our cozy decorative dorm room we get to stay in for the next two days, we took a walk around downtown.

We went into Velo City Cycles and looked around. They have some nice stuff and I got to try on the new line of Giro sunglasses....nice. Then they said "last call for the drawing" and we asked if we could put our names in, and they let us. The drawing was for a cycling cap, water bottle and SIDI socks. The name called was none other than James Anderson, our very own Bike Boy!

From there we kept walking untill we reached our turnaround point, the Coldstone Creamery. Scott got a smoothie, BB and Ace shared an 'Oreo Overload' and I got the 'Peanut Butter Perfection'. Delicious.

We walked back, I showered, shaved and brushed my teeth. Now I am getting ready for bed, and when I post this it will be lights out. Doing a century tomorrow, it will be Bike Boy's first time to break 68miles? something like that. Its going to be fun.

Most importantly, I learned a bit about Scott in his younger days and we are bringing back his old nickname. Instead of Scott or Giff, we (or at least I am) are going to call him STIXXX. The extra X's are for the way it was spelled on his license plate. Yeah it was that serious of a nickname, it was on his license plate.

Well its lights out for me and Stixxx, check back tomorrow for ride recap and photos!
