It had not been the best of weathers these last couple of days and it had rained last night as well. I decided to ride out nevertheless and bit te bullet as it were. The Obed was still muddy from the last rides but the chain was clean . I started out towards Mollendaalbos along big forest roads and it wasn' until I left the forest and rode into the Mille fields that I began to notice how wet the trails were. Add to that an unpleasant wind and my plan to get back into the forest asap was quickly made. Up towards the Prosperdreef and the Walendreef and then for a loop through the Kouterbos and along the Zoete Waters into Heverlee forest. Back south and back into the Meerdael forest. A last little lap towards the Herculesdreef and then back parallel to the Weertse Dreef and I was satisfied that I had ridden enough. The legs felt fine and the average speed and heartrate were where they should be. High and low.

The weather was sunny but cold when I rode out with the Litespeed Obed around 11AM. There was a nasty northeasterly breeze and I decided to make the most of the cover of the forest. A classic Meerdael ride, following its perimeter with occasional ventures out of the forest. The legs felt fine and I was lucky to have the breeze pushing me on over the fields of Mille towards Valduc. Felt great to feel nature's forces working for you. In and through Meerdael Forest towards Nethen and then slowly making my way onto Sint Joris Weert, the Zoete Waters and Heverlee forest for a last stretch along its rim into Blanden. An hour and a half on a bike and it felt fine.

It has been a while since I cycled outdoors and today the opportunity arose to ride out. Crisp but sunny weather and above all, dry. The trails were moist but I took the Litespeed Obed out along the bigger forest roads and some tarmac to differentiate and keep the speed up. It felt good to feel a mountain bike move and twist below me and I was very happy when I arrived home after the best part of an hour
