Some rain yesterday and when I got home from work around 4PM I decided to enter the forest for a couple of laps along my Mollendaal loop. I added a bit and found an extra hill, keeping the loop completely inside the forest. The wind was pretty cold so staying in the forest seemed wiser. The tracks were moist but not overly so. Here and there a puddle slowed me down a little but on the whole it was fine. Care had to be taken on some of the rooty singletrails because a wet root spells trouble for the unaware.
But all went well and I added a little loop riding into - and out of - Vaalbeek, passing briefly into Heverlee forest and then re-entering Meerdael Forest along the Prosperdreef. The temperature was 4 degrees C on average but I did not feel the cold.
