Seems we had the worse storm in four years yesterday , at least as far as wind speeds were concerned. Not as bad as in 1990 when, not far from where I live , a wind speed of 168kph was measured. But wind speeds in excess of 120kph were noted yesterday and a lot of rain really soaked the offroad. Today saw a lot of rain in the early morning, followed by the sun peeping through and the still-well-notice-able wind blowing the streets dry at high speed. I took half a day off and decided to go out and check the damage. Did a little tour towards Grez-Doiceau to pick up my Master2 MTB licence for 2007 at Laurent Saublens' , our Blancs Gilets club president and also big honcho at the FCWB, the Walloon side of the Belgian Royal Bicycling Club. I was in luck, he was just about to leave as I rode by, so I could pick up my licence. Lots of debris on or next to the roads, the wind still blowing fiercely but with a temperature of 14 degrees I did not mind. I was happy to be able to ride outside and glad I had the opportunity to do so. The weekend doesn't look too good, another low is coming our way with rain and winds.
