With temps of 1 degree C it was not feasable to do a 4 to 5 hour ride so I decided to leave the Grez Doiceau O2 Bikers roadbook for another day and do a ride a bit closer to home. My friend Roger agreed to accompany me for a Meerdael perimeter ride. I had put my November 9th effort on my Garmin 705 GPS as a course and so we followed the exact same trail I rode back then. The forest was wet and cold but there was not that much mud. Except on some of the bigger roads were forestry tractors had made quite a mess. Furthermore, with temps close to freezing the mud was on the stiff side, not fluid. We had a good easy ride , wondering why we were almost alone in the forest. We only crossed one couple taking a walk near the Zoete Waters and saw two roedeer being scared off by a small truck that seemed to be a bit lost in Heverleebos. The 2-hour effort was just the right amount with this kind of conditions leaving me with the feeling that I had done a good workout without feeling overly tired or drawn.
