A dry evening |
After a lot of rainy days and evenings, today was completely dry. I took advantage of this and rode out with the Moots Psychlo-X for a relaxed ride. Starting out over Bierbeek and Willebringen, I then joined Meldert and La Bruyere, returning over Beauvechain and Opvelp towards Bierbeek and Haasrode Industrie. I tried out my new Garmin Vivoactive HR watch and the GPS function is spot on. The heartrate however is way too high in comparison with what the Garmin Edges' breast band measures. This si is a common weak point of heartrate-measuring watches. They are exact as long as you stay still and don't make any movement with the wrist. Running and cycling involve movement and therefore the measurement becomes less exact.

Overijse |
After another week of rain and generally bad cycling weather , this sunday promised to be dry. It was still cloudy when I left around 10Am but it was dry and with temperatures around 15 degrees C not that cold. I took the Psychlo-X for a change and set out over Egenhoven and Bertem towards Leefdaal and Duisburg. Onwards to Overijse and then up to the outskirts of Wavre where I took a left turn into Ottenburg. Sint Agatha Rode and Sint Joris Weert brought me into the Meerdael Forest for a last stretch home. There was a noticeable breeze from the west and towards the end of the ride the sun came peeping through the clouds, warming me up.BR>

Easy late afternoon ride |
The weather has taken a turn for the better and it was nearly 17 degrees C when I rode out arounf 6PM. I set out towards Hamme Mille and Archennes along busy roads. After Archennes things quickly became bucolic and when I reached Eerken and Sin Agatha Rode the traffic was minimal. I rode along the Wolfshagen into Neerijse and then took a busier road towards Egenhoven. Back aling Arenberg and then on the new bikepath parallel to the E40 towards the Naamsesteenweg. Following that into Blanden completed my ride. The legs felt fine but I did not stretch them and took it fairly easy. The wind was less prominent than yesterday so I could achieve the same average speed with a lot less effort.

Following the arrows |
There was a cold unpleasant wind blowing from the North this morning. I waited until 10AM but the sun was nowhere to be seen. So I took the Psychlo-X out for a ride. There was a road tour passing in our street so I settled on following those arrows. They went towards Haasrode, Bierbeek, Opvelp and Beauvechain. Keeping on following them over Tourinnes and Hamme Mille into Nethen. Here they took a left turn towards Pecrot but I decided to cut off towards Sint Joris Weert and the Weertse Dreef. The wind was nasty and I did not feel like riding any more than an hour. Legs were ok and upon checking I found my average heartrate to be in the safe zone.
