This morning again saw some very wet weather. Around noon the rain diminished and after I've watched the Giro stage I went out , on the road , for a ride that would take me to Wavre. Some 20k away from Meerdael, I wanted to check out the venue of next Sundays' organised ride. It looks interesting since the longest distance on offer is 63K. I have been to many organised rides in Wavre, but not to this one. They also offer a brevet - race against the clock - on the longest distance, and I'm secretly wanting to do that. It's been a while since I had a number on my bike - Hagelandse Chrono of 2005 to be exact - and I have several reasons to do a chrono again. If I get there next sunday I will write some more about that. The ride today went well, temps were up one degree from yesterday - 15 degrees C on average - and even though the clouds looked menacing throughout the ride not a single drop fell. I incorporated some extra climbing bringing the amount of heightmeters to a nice hillfactor of 9.5 . The Polar gave me the usual troubles but that should be fixed tomorrow.
Ride Stats : 55K and 520 heightmeters in 2h25mins
