I still had some energy left after returning from work in the afternoon. So I decided to ride to Grez Doiceau and start on the parcours of the Accro Bike. The 42K version to be more precise. For those not familiar with the Accro Bike, I suggest they do a search on that term on my Blog.
Starting out with already 12K of mixed ride in the legs the first climb towards Biez hurt . It is a very steep one. And the Accro Bike is a succesion of many suchs climbs and descents. Fortunately the tracks were bone-dry and the bike got me through the fast and bumpy descents. I made good speed but already knew that I would be unable to finish the complete 42K . So I left out 2 big chunks, cutting short a descent and ascent into the Bois de Glabais. When I neared Dion Le Val I also decided to skip the long climb into the Bois des Neulettes, and the section after that in the Bois des Vallees. The colors of the fields were bright with lots of rapeseed flowers .
