So the month of july is coming to an end. I had a very good training month and today whilst riding past the Marollen Chapel in Hautem I passed the 2000K mark for this month. Of course I was on holiday but still it remains a large distance to ride. So the weather in july was not that bad after all. On the contrary I found it ideal for riding a bike, on the road. The temperatures were around 20 degrees, sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less, I could always find a spot between showers to ride 2 or 3 hours and the wind was mostly present but not blowing too hard either.
So today I rode out for a recovery ride that brought me through some of the spots I saw so frequently these last weeks. Starting out over Bierbeek, Willebringen and Hoksem , then into Oorbeek and to the outskirts of Hoegaarden, up to Hautem and then towards l'Ecluse and Beauvechain. Past the 1St Wing Airbase in La Bruyere and crossing the N240 and the N92 to reach Pietrebais . From Pietrebais I rode towards Grez-Doiceau and then followed the N25 to Hamme Mille. From Hamme Mille I rode home along my usual loop, through Nethen, Sint Joris Weert, the Zoete Waters and Vaalbeek.
