rain was forecast so I did not want to ride out far this early morning. I started out on an empty stomach .I settled for a couple of Haasrode Industrie laps. 8K each and I did 4 of them. It was cool and there was a light breeze from the west. There were a couple of raindrops falling towards the end of my third lap but the rain did not push through so I risked a fourth lap. Riding home it was still overcast but on the whole I was very pleased with this short but necessary ride. The legs needed some turning and riding on an empty stomach forced me to keep the revs low. I ended with an average heartrate of 95 bpm which was great considering the average speed neared 27kph.

I did not want to ride out far this evening so I settled for a couple of Haasrode Industrie laps. 8K each and I did 3 of them. It was still quite warm and there was abreeze from the north that bothered me from time to time. But in all I was able to maintain a good average speed and when I rode home along the Expressweg I had the wind gently pushing me along.

Todays saw moderately warm weather but there was a breeze keeping things fresh by the time I rode out. I took the Psychlo-X for a spin , starting out along the new bikepath parallel to the E40 , then through Egenhoven and Bertem towards Vossem. Taking the Vossemberg upwards and then back along the plateau towards Egenhoven again. The legs felt a bit tired and I did not have the impression I was going fast. Was very surprised to find out after the ride that I set 8 PR's on Strava segments.

Back on the Psychlo-X today. I put Schwalbe Marathon Supreme tyres on for better road-going and set out despite feeling tired from yesterdays' ride. Starting through the Meerdael forest along the Weertsedreef and then from Sint Joris Weert through Nethen to reach Hamme Mille. Onwards to Tourinnes and Beauvechain. Taking a left there and riding over the hill to Opvelp. Another left towards Bierbeek where I started to feel a breeze from the northwest. From Bierbeek over Haasrode into Blanden where I closed the lap. Felt good and I was able to keep the pace high despite the wind in the end. .
