The forecast rain didn't show so after a days' rest yesterday I could not resist getting the Vortex out and do a recovery ride. The sky was cloud-covered and with 16 degrees C it wasn't exactly warm but with longs sleeved jacket and tights there was no problem. I also wore a windbreaker because the wind was blowing cold from the northwest. Doing one of my usual laps, starting out over Bierbeek, Opvelp, Meldert and La Bruyere. Then turning right towards Beauvechain. Here I turned left and cycled through Tourinnes, Nodebais and then down into Hamme Mille. From Hamme Mille I reached Nethen and Sint Joris Weert and then decided to add another loop taking me towards Neerijse, Egenhoven and Heverlee before turning towards Blanden to finish my ride. I rode at an easy pace so the ride was a very relaxing one. When I got home a big grasshopper landed on me and I could not resist taking a picture of it.

Another 400K+ week, the third in a row. Despite the uneasy weather I managed to ride almost every day during the month of july, having an occasional rest day obviously when I felt it was needed.
