The guys at the Vuelta made good haste today so I was able to ride out myself half an hour earlier than yesterday. When I left the sun was still shining but there was a dark cloud coming nearer over Leuven. I had checked meteox and there was no imminent rain threat so I didn't take any precautions, just riding with short sleeves and no raincoat. I had planned to do the same ride as yesterday so I started out over Bierbeek, Meldert, La Bruyere, Beauvechain, Hamme Mille and Nethen. By the time I reached Sint Joris Weert the skies were dark but I saw no rain veils so I figured it would *probably* not rain. Still I decided to skip the Neerijse-Egenhoven loop and rode towards the Zoete Waters instead. From there I rode on towards Oud-Heverlee and Heverlee Park. The dark clouds were still above me but still no raindrop had fallen. Taking more courage I decided to ride towards the Haasrode Industrie park and then loop back over Haasrode towards Blanden. When I was riding the Haasrode Industriepark loop the skies cleared out and the sun re-appeared. Ok so I got lucky today. In all I had a kilometer more than what I did yesterday and I even netted more heightmeters. Still my average speed was a little lower but so was my average heartbeat. 27.2 kph and 111bpm instead of 28.6kph and 121bpm yesterday.
