A lot of drizzle yesterday and rain during the evening and most of the night took away any incentive I might have had to ride offroad. This morning saw a dry spell and I decided to take advantage of that to do a long LSD ride on the road. The roads were still wet when I started out but dried out as the K's moved along. I did the Haasrode tour, a marked route running over Bierbeek, Willebringen and Hoksem towards the outskirts of Hoegaarden. There was a lot of wind cutting in from the southwest and I was glad I could stop to make a picture of an exclusive Renault Megane RS Team F1 in Hoksem. When I set out again my heartrate monitor was behaving strangely. It seemed to be hanging at 135bpm. Strange, perhaps the receptor belt needs some cleaning or a new battery. I have to look at this because my heartrate is very important to me. I rode on and passed through l'Ecluse and La Bruyere and on my way to Pietrebais I crossed my friend Roger who was having a long ride as well on his Seven Sola. We briefly exchanged our ideas about the wind and other smalltalk and then we each went our own way again. Through Pietrebais and then into Cocrou, Grez-Doiceau and Archennes. In Nethen I cam across another exclusive car I couldn't leave without taking some pictures. A nice black Ferrari F430 Scuderia.
Only Sint Joris Weert and Vaalbeek were left before I was in Blanden again. This was a very important ride because I also passed the 10000K mark for this year. Congratulations to myself !
