Wind power

I biked to Amsterdam this morning. 45km in 1:25. Big tail wind.

The wind picked up this afternoon even more. The ride home took 2:05.

Yikes.  

For days like this, one should really have one of these.  I saw one today.  Older guys doing 30-35 into the headwind while I was really struggling to make 23.

Word of the day

Windkracht: Wind force. They give the forcast here not with wind speed but wind force. This makes sense as the actual energy content varies greatly depending on temperature, pressure, and humidity.

  1. Hello Scott,

    I finally had more than a few moments to spare, so I could write a few words. I have browsed around a little; it's been interesting to read about biking and the Netherlands.

    Keep on writing.

    I saw the post about Elvis. I'm sure he's missed (and will be missed) by family and friends. Good memories, in the long run, help.
