Looking forward to do a long ride today. The forecast was good, no rain , overcast skies and a bit more than 20 degrees C. Excellent. So I set out towards Hoegaarden to pick in on the Lf6 trail. This brings me nicely towards Velm, not far from Sint Truiden. At the furthest point I have exactly 50K and 2 hours of riding behind me. Turning back I follow the same track whence I came until I reach Opvelp again. I had a plan to add some more kilometers and for that I needed to do an extra loop. From Opvelp I ride towards Hamme Mille where I pass the 100K. Nethen, Sint Joris Weert and Neerijse are next. I follow the Sint Janbergse Steenweg until I reach Egenhoven. From there I cut through to the Arenberg campus in Heverlee. Then I ride towards Oud-Heverlee to reach the Zoete Waters. From there in the direction of Vaalbeek and Blanden and I am home with a nice distance of 131K on my counters. Solid LSD ride with an average heartrate of 111bpm. Near the end the extra hour was starting to make itself feel because my body was feeling tired when I arrived home.
A surprise was waiting there because I received a package from Assos, my equipe Campionissimo welcome gift, a special shirt and a pair of eC socks. Nice.
