If there is one phrase that fits today it's the one in the title. A little rainfall tonight but just enough to settle the dust. This morning saw the sun shining bright and a warm southern wind made the temperatures very bearable. So I set out on the Moots again (please remember Green Pen color = Moots, Red Pen color = Litespeed and Black Pen color = Hilset) and rode through Meerdael forest, Nethen and Pecrot towards Archennes where I joined the BLOSO routes of Overijse and rode them in the opposite direction. They are a bit tougher that way with one near impossible climb on the Red Route (the one with the steps) and another tough one near 'het Bisdom'. I made them all and added a few more along the way . The smell of autumn really had me enjoy this ride. The forest colors are starting to change and the beautiful sunshine made for some nice backdrops while I took some pictures along the way. I paused a long time at the little pathway overlooking Huldenberg, and made some pictures of a young 'Brabander' fowl and it's mother. When I rounded the loop I rode back whence I came and at home I had 53K and just over 705 heightmeters. The Overijse BLOSO's themselves are 32K and just shy of 480 heightmeters. If the weather holds I will ride the Braine organised ride tomorrow, but todays' ride might just as well be the last one this weekend if it starts to rain tonight. Weather forecasts are still unclear for tomorrow.
