Took a day off from work today to be able to get a good nights' sleep and do a long ride today. Started around noon for an LSD ride towards Mechelen along the 'Leuvense Vaart', and then back again. This is a very flat ride and this helps keep the heartrate down where it belongs - I averaged 117 bpm for the whole ride - and helps me focus on the ride and turning the cranks. Only drawback is that you remain seated most of the time which could irritate the part of your body that has contact with the saddle. But my bum hasn't been giving me much trouble lately and also today was very happy in my Assos pants.
I added another small loop with a bit more height differences upon returning in Leuven to take the total distance up towards 90K.
Temperature was a mild 9 degrees C and I only got some drizzle during the first hour of the ride. Glad I did this one.
Ride Stats : 90K and 285 heightmeters in 3h44mins
874/6255
