The weather looked great with temperatures around 9 degrees C and it did not rain for the complete day. So I decided to enter Mollendaal Forest for a couple of laps along the broader forest roads. Taking the Hilset out I started on the first climb when I heard a 'PANGG' and upon stopping and checking my rear wheel I noticed one of the radial spokes had broken. Nothing else to do but to ride home and get another bike to finish this ride.

Got on the Litespeed Obed and I quickly returned into the forest for the first of 3 big loops that described a nice figure 8 along the Weertstraat and with the Milsebaan as a common point in the middle. The trails were as good as dry, there was only a bit of mud on the section leading towards the cabin on the highest point of the trail. I had a good workout with a nice average speed, even in the complete darkness.
