 Heverlee forest |
Again some nice weather and after seeing Remco Evenepoel taking his 2nd World Junio Championship title I had to ride out myself. It was already 6 PM so I knew I had to be in an hour later. Dusk already setting in fast around this time of year, even with the sun blazing and no cloud in sight. I settled for a ride through the Kouterbos and into Heverlee forest, the Merlin purring gentle on a good steady pace. My legs felt OK for this kind of pace and time. I did some singletrail as well, enjoying the twisting and turning but losing out on speed obviously

| Mr.Merlin rides out |
Today saw some nice weather with sunshine after a cold start. In the late afternoon I decided to take Mr.Merlin out for a spin through Heverleebos. Nothing fancy just a relaxing ride with a good pace. The legs felt fine but there was not a lot of strength left after 5 days in a row hiking for 15K a day. But I enjoyed the ride and made some loops in the cooling forest.

| Mr. Merlin rides out |
Another weekend, another ride. Taking the Merlin out for a spin. Starting out along the Prosperdreef into Heverlee forest, following the Green Meerdael Bloso for a while and then taking a leave from that track, incorporating some interesting trails left and right. From Oud-Heverlee I followed the Parnassusbergdreef towards the Zoete Waters. Along the Keiberg and then the Herculesdreef towards Meerdael forest. Up the steep hill and then back towards the Kleine Dreef and the marvellous little valley in the shade of the Tomberg .

| Nodebais |
yeehaw. thats how I felt when I took the Merlin out this evening. After a long hot summer autumn is returning and also my ability to ride in the forest again. I settled for an easy ride through Meerdael forest over Tourinnes to Nodebais and back again. The legs felt surprisingly after yesterdays' road ride and after my early morning 15K walk today. Obviously the bike was a joy. I checked the suspension and tyre pressure before the ride and gave the chain a squeeze of Ice Lube. Thats all it takes to make the bike happy. And with it, it's owner.

| Psychlotron 50K |
This morning it was cloudy and fresh so I was out at 7.30AM to profit from the coolness. I took the Psychlo-X around my usual 50K loop. Bierbeek, Opvelp, Neervelp, Meldert, La Bruyere, Beauvechain, Tourinnes, Nodebais, Hamme Mille, Nethen, Pecrot, Sint Agatha Rode , Sint Joris Weert and the Zoete Waters passed under my wheels. I was passed by Johan, an old friend whom I haven't seen for quite a while now. We rode together for a few kilometers before our roads lead us into different directions. The cool weather did me good and I was able to keep a good pace throughout the entire ride.

| PoGo route |
A fresh morning but the sun would be out later. So I decided to leave soon and connect a few Pokemon Go gyms whilst enjoying the forest and the awakaning nature. The legs were tired from yesterdays 25K hike but I mamaged to pace myself and find a tempo that suited me.

| PoGo Route |
Warm this afternoon and seeing that I had a half day off from work I decided to do a quick ride along some Pokemon Gyms. I took the Merlin and it was a blast out there. Good trails and some cobbles and even tarmac.

| PoGo route |
Cool morning but the sun was out so I took the Merlin for a spin. Had to ride out this evening to check some PoGo gyms. I tried to follow a route that would take me to Beuvechain, Tourinnes , Nodebais and Hamme Mille in that order. Afterwards I also passed at the Hercules Salon to check .

| Meerdael perimeter |
Cool morning but the sun was out so I took the Merlin for a spin. More or less a lap around Meerdael forest aligning some POI's where I stopped for a short while. Haasrode , Bierbeek, Tourinnes and Nodebais where on my list, afterwards I dove into the forest to reach the Coprinus Pillars high above the Kluis. From there I rode to the Zoete Waters and then back over the Keiberg and along the Chateau Meerdael fields to the Langestraat and Blanden. Legs felt strong and that had been a while.
