This Isn't Thanksgiving.

Went for a ride today with Jen. The plan was to head upwind until we got far enough away, then coast all the way home. It mostly worked.
We started out West, and somewhere around Den Hoorn we got a good view of Delft from afar.
Then Jen had to stop to take off her jacket because it was not actually that cold. It was a pretty typical neighborhood, so I took a picture.
After a bunch of riding upwind, we decided that was enough and it was time to turn around.
Going back downwind was super fast. We were also next to all these cars; not sure where they're going, but it's not in a hurry. Good thing for us we had a separate path and didn't have to slow down for them.
Anyway, we weren't in a huge hurry to get home, so we took a detour to a little green area on the map. This is what we found.
Jen made me take a picture of the flowers along the side of the path.
We turned around at some sort of equestrian sports complex.
Then with a little bit of rain and a little bit of taking wrong turns, we made our way back to Delft, where we stopped for lunch and stopped recording.
Final stats for the day were
Max speed: 36.2 km/h
Average speed: 14.2 km/h
Total distance: 15.4 km
