Today was kinda windy. The weather app said force 5 coming out of the West. So I headed West. West past the fields we went to on our first Thanksgiving here.
Did I mention it was windy?
Anyway, I kept going until my alarm said I'd been riding for 45 minutes. That was after climbing this thing:
It crossed a highway, but I took a break for water and some dates at the top then turned around.
I went back through De Lier and Schipluiden. Downwind was decidedly warmer and faster, though of course sometimes I snaked back upwind. The route was pretty nice, but there was one stretch with 3 of these things in a row:
They are not easy to get the trike through. Grumble.
Total distance: 29.3 km
Average speed: About 19 km/h
Max speed: (I'll look at the computer later, maybe)
Orange is out, blue is back.
