The trip started with a nice little flight over the Atlantic, landing in Brussels, Belgium after seven (ish) hours in the over sized bird. The riders were met at the airport by our soigneur, Jim Anderson, along with mechanic Dave Hartman. From there we loaded up the vans and drove an hour to Vorselaar, the town where we'll be staying for the duration of the trip.
After a quick tour of the house, grabbing a quick snack, and building the bikes, I headed out into the rain with a few other guys to spin out the legs from travel. It was great do some exploring in the nearby Belgian countryside! We must've had too much fun exploring, because we ended up getting ourselves a little lost... eventually we found our way back to the house, but not until we had numbed our hands a bit.
The rest of the day was a fight to stay awake and adjust to the six hour time difference. From what others had told me, I just needed to stay awake until early evening, get a good nights rest, and I'd wake up fairly adjusted to the time here. So far that seems to be the case.
