It was misty when I rode out around 10AM with the Moots Psychlo-X. But the sun was peeping through and it promised to warm up later. Over Hamme Mille and Beauvechain towards L'Ecluse and then into Hoegaarden. I found a tricky descent with a cobble section that looked Roman. Very old and wet and sharp. So easy going. From Hoegaarden some more cobbles were waiting for my 32mm tyres when I set out towards Saint Remy Geest. Pausing near the church for some pictures and a welcome break.

Onwards to Melin and then through Bruyere back to Beauvechain and Hamme Mille. Taking a little loop into Meerdael Forest and finishing over some more cobbles in the descent into Vaalbeek.
Had a good ride - a long one - and I felt good. Average heartrate was good around 101bpm.

Fine weather this evening and I went out for a ride on the Moots YBB. I am testing a new kind of chain lube with nanotechnology. A big word , lets see how it stands up in the field. More info at Dieci-9 . I did a pyramidical succession of laps today. Starting with the medium, then the large and then the extra large one. After that I did the large, medium and finished off with the small lap. In all nearly 40K of fun. The trails were dry and faster than a couple of days ago. My legs felt good and I could maintain a good average.

Wanted to do a ride when I got home from work. Took the Moots YBB out for a spin over Meerdael trails. 2 big laps of 9.6 kilometers followed by another lap of 8km. I felt Ok but I did not push too hard since I had been riding yesterday as well. I still managed to get a KOM (King Of the Mountain) on the 8K lap. It got dark near the end, rain clouds filling the sky. But it remained dry and I was able to finish the lap before it got too dark to see. September is here and the days are visibly shortening . Still, the september month also means the end of the horsefly era and soon I will be able to wear short sleeves when venturing into the wood.
