Work bike club meeting the second was today. I was joined by Arie, Lotte, Maryam, and Seif. I managed to get zero good pictures (two bad ones) so all you get is a textual description.
We took the same route as last time, except we zipped over away from the road earlier on the way North.
This time, the wind was very light so the fast bit was a bit faster. GNSS numbers:
Max speed: 41.8 km/h
Average speed: 19.5 km/h
Total distance: 10.4 km
I also brought Gennaro's test phone with. Its map looks pretty much the same, and it had these numbers:
Max speed: 42.4 km/h
Average speed: 19.8 km/h
Total distance: 10.3 km
And, of course, I remembered to reset my bike computer at the start of this ride It says:
Max speed: 41.2 km/h
Average speed: 19.5 km/h
Total distance: 10.15 km
Yep, I really did go fast this time.
After our 10 km warm up, Arie was ready for a real ride. Everyone else left, but I went with. For this route, we took the bridge West over the Schie, then went South at the Delft Campus train station. We crossed under the tracks and followed Kandelaarweg just long enough to get to the Kandelaarbrug, then went back the way we came South on the first loop.
GNSS numbers (my phone):
Max speed: 36.3 km/h
Average speed: 20.8 km/h
Total distance: 13.6 km
GNSS numbers (Gennaro's phone):
Max speed: 33.4 km/h
Average speed: 20.7 km/h
Total distance: 13.5 km
The bike computer says our total distance was 13.35 km, but I didn't reset it in between rides, so average and max speeds are not useful.
Total distance: 13.35 km
