..well not really but I've noticed that I have been biking over 120792K since I started recording my distances some 10 years ago. That is 3 times around the world and that surely must count for something.
Today the weather continued to be dry and cold-ish with temps of 4 degrees C. Ideally suited for a long ride and I set out to do the Ludo Dierckxsens trajectory. From Bierbeek this follows a nice loop over La Bruyere , Happeau, Sart Risbart and Chaumont Gistoux towards Dion le Val. From here it loops back over Grez Doiceau and Archennes towards Eerken, Sint Agatha Rode and Sint Joris Weert. Here I leave the LD loop which continues all the way towards Herselt (or something). The loop isn't too difficult with only a few steep hills in Chaumont and also one when leaving Bonlez. My legs felt tired from yesterday evenings ride but I found a good pace which I was able to keep until the end. Along the way I photographed this cute Shetland pony youngster who was too shy to come any closer.
His mom wasn't shy though and we exchanged some warmth when I stroked her head. The sun was out in the beginning of the ride - its rays are still warm enough to be felt when your face is lit - but during the ride it became increasingly cloudy and by the time I reached Chaumont it was gone, leaving me without pleasant light to make photographs. Before I entered Chaumont I saw some snow lying at the side of the road, a remnant from last sundays first snow of this winter.
