Rode out around 11am for a ride that was the same as last tuesday. A 57K ride that takes me a little more than 2 hours to complete when in shape. Today the weather was tricky to predict. I took my Assos Blitzfeder with me to be on the safe side but except for a couple of raindrops and continuously changing clouds I was in the dry for the complete ride. The temperature was fresh and a very gusty wind was making it feel like autumn when the sun was obscured by the clouds. With the sun out it felt a little better. When I reached Blanden I decided to add another loop and took the last leg of last wednesdays' ride as my example. Riding along the Naamsesteenweg towards Heverlee, then riding up towards the caserne and taking left to reach Heverlee Park. From there I followed the Geldenaaksesteenweg towards Haasrode Industriepark where I did a lap of the grounds before taking the small tarmac roads parallel to the E40 to reach Haasrode and then Blanden. Whilst I am typing this, a thunderstorm has broken loose, with thunder, lightning and torrential rain. So I was again very lucky today to escape the really bad weather.
