It was overcast and now and then a shower fell during the first half of this sunday. In the afternoon things brightened up and around 4PM I rode out with the Litespeed Vortex for a spin. There was a nasty wind blowing from the west but during most of the ride I was able to hide from it. Starting out over Heverlee and Egenhoven I rode towards Leefdaal and Duisburg. Here I connected to Jezus-Eik and then Overijse. Climbing out of Overijse I came upon a cycle race - Ronde van Vlaams Brabant - but the police let me pass and I rode towards Terlanen and then up into Ottenburg. Down towards Pecrot and then the steep climb out of it towards Nethen. In Nethen I took a right towards Hamme Mille, now following my middle lap which led me over Tourinnes, Beauvechain and Opvelp into Bierbeek and Haasrode. Down into Blanden and against the wind but i was nearly home now so it didn't bother me much. The legs felt great and I was able to maintain a good speed throughout the hilly ride.
