Weather forecast called for 90% chance of rain today. They must have gotten their percentages mixed up because it rained a little bit during the night and in the early morning but then it dried out and temperatures riding over 20 degrees C lured me out for a short recovery ride. I didn't want to burn too much calories - still recovering from last evenings' hilly ride - so I set out into Heverleebos along the Green Bloso, more or less. Coming to Korbeek Dyle I followed the river Dyle into the Doode Beemde. There were some puddles here but I still got the fenders on the Hilset so the watersplash didn't bother me. I followed the path along the old railroad path over the bridges. On both sides I could see the partly flooded forest with the trees being left alone. Rotting if they fall over, other trees growing over them. Quite a view and worth a visit.
In Sint Joris Weert I had to wait for a road race to pass and then set on towards Nethen were I climbed into Meerdael Forest. Back on the Bloso route - the Red this time - which I followed all the way to Bierbeek. The weather was heavy on me, not much wind and rather warm. But no rain so why complain, right. Into Mollendaal forest for a last stretch of last forest lanes and I had a pleasing ride . Not too stressing on the legs but a good workout nevertheless.
I got the front wheel og my Moots YBB back from Filip Sport today. They managed to close the Continental Mountain King with Notubes fluid. Lets hope it stays inflated.
