This morning saw a temperature that was a little warmer than yesterday. With only -6 degrees C on average the cold already stung a lot less during my ride. I decided for another snow ride in Mollendaal and Meerdael Forest. The trails were great and the snow was as dry as sand. I ventured into the plains of Mille and Valduc and the sun was feeling warm on the sparse skin that was exposed. I did a lot of twisting and turning and after an hour or two I decided to call it a day and head home.

There were a lot of mountainbikers in the forest - judging by the tracks and also crossing them along the way . Since I rode alone I tried some smaller tracks, most were OK and I only had to watch it in the downhills, with the frozen ruts being the major danger. I mainly stayed in Mollendaalbos today, only venturing over the Naamsesteenweg for a brief loop taking me past the Warande Pond and then up towards La Trace and back down to cross the Naamsesteenweg again at the Naamse Delle.
