It looked like it would stay more or less dry so I rode out for a recovery ride. Starting out over Heverlee and Heverlee Park, I rode towards Arenberg and Egenhoven and then followed the Sint Jansberg Steenweg through Neerijse, Huldenberg and up to Overijse. Here I turned left and then left again to Terlanen. From Terlanen a long climb brought me to Ottenburg. I felt fine and when I reached Sint Agatha Rode I decided to ride through to Neerijse and take the Sint Jansberg Steenweg back to Egenhoven. From Egenhoven I rode to Heverlee and Oud-Heverlee until I reached the Zoet Waters. Here I decided to call it a day and came in through Vaalbeek. A couple of cooldown laps in Blanden later and I had a nice 70K . Due to the hilly character of the region I had more heightmeters than necessary on a recovery ride but I felt OK so I didn't mind the extra effort. With an average heartrate of 115bpm my body seemed OK with that as well. This was the first ride on the new Continental Attack& Force tyre combo.

They performed very well, extremely grippy in the corners, due to the special Black Chili rubber compound.
