After a couple of weeks off of the bike, I decided it was time for a ride again. I have been keeping myself busy with long forest walks so my fitness was certainly not gone, only biking fitness is not the same as walking fitness. So I started out with the Moots YBB on relatively easy forest trails. The trails were fine, dry with some moist pathces here and there. There had been a lot of wind last night so the leaves were blown away but the tracks were littered with fallen branches of all sizes. Everyting went fine, I had a good time riding outside again and enjoyed the relatively mild november temperatures we have seen for the last couple of weeks.

After a cold and wet week, I was happy to be able to get on my YBB for a ride. I decided to follow my front wheel and it first took me to Heverlee forest and along the Green BLOSO towards Korbeek Dyle. Here I followed narrow tracks through the fields to reach the Sint Jansberg steenweg. I was taking a right and up the hill and then down again into Leefdaal. Some pretty muddy tracks here but after crossing the Steenweg again and ridign towards the borders of the river Ijse I entered Margijsbos and here I had to climb. No mud here, instead good traction. Down towards the Wolfshagen, up again on the Smeysberg plateau and the down into Sint Agatha Rode. Entering Meerdael Forest not much later for a last couple of kilometers in the majestic autumn forest.

Having done the Dikke Beuk Wandeling on foot yesterday I wanted to ride it on a bike today. I noticed yesterday that the trails were still wet but not overly so. There was only one part of the ride that could - and would - cause me to walk for a couple of meters. Just before the steep climb along the Grezstraat towards the Kromme Dreef. The rest of the track was moist with soem puddles, but they were all countourable and adding to the fun of biking these relatively narrow trails. I quite enjoyed myself and did a second lap at a highre pace than the first. Obvioulsy because I knew where the traps were and where I could let the bike roll after the first lap provided me with a good insight on the trails.

Today saw a grey start but with a temperature of around 11 degrees it was quite mild. The forest roads were moist but not overly wet when I set out for a first 12k lap from Meerdael over Kouter into Heverlee forest. All the way to the Arboretum and then back over Vaalbeek into the Meerdael forest. When I was halfway through the second lap it started to drizzle. Trails got wetter and the fun quickly vanished out of the ride. I completed the 12k lap, added another little one and then rode home.
