With 27 degrees it was way too hot to be comfortable but I rode out nevertheless, still clad in long shorts and sleeves. September is normally the end of the horsefly season but with the temperatures still so high I was not taking any chances, lest there still be some specimen on the prowl for my blood.
I did 4 long laps of nearly 9km with a nice amount of heightmeters. Rode at an easy pace I could maintain throughout the entire ride. My last lap was the fastest, not by much, but still it indicates that I spread my effort well.

I wanted to do some fast laps on my Meerdael trails so I took out the Psychlo-X instead of the YBB. Warming up sufficiently and also reconnoitering the condition of the trails I did a fast lap of the medium distance, followed by a cooling down lap and then I did a fast lap of the shortest loop. My heartrate went up to 143 which is a lot considering my recent condition but all went well and I could complete the lap with a new personal record. I did the same on the medium distance. After that I did some cooling down laps but the speed was still high enough to make this a very fast offroad ride. Legs felt good .
