I had 1.5 hours between two afternoon meetings, and as yesterday (Sunday) the weather was only ideal for staying at home, I needed to move. So I changed quickly into my cycling clothes and hopped on the new brompton and just rode into a direction, where I knew I would be out of the city quite quickly and could just cycle around. Which, if you look at the map below, is exactly what I did. Cycling around without a clear goal. Well, actually the goal was to be home again before the 19:00 meeting. So at 18:10 I turned at Sassenheim (after surpassing an electrified cyclist!) and rode back... but the way back was too fast, also because the way to Sassenheim that I took was everything but straight, so on the way back I did the same, everything but straight. That's how this strange form came into being. And yeah, I was home again 20 min before the meeting, had even enough time for a quick shower, and could connect perfectly to my next TC.
Shortly behind Sassenheim this field of daffodils... spring is coming!
I don't have a statistic, but it feels like one of my fastest rides, at least it must have been the fastest this year, I think. I had obviously some back wind, but also for a short stretch when going NW some headwind.
