This morning I felt the aftereffects from yesterdays' ride. My legs were still recovering and I had a bit of a headache. Watching the Nove Mesto World Cup races and a couple of aspirins took care of the headache but I had to wait until the late afternoon before I felt Ok to get on the bike again for an easy recovery ride in Meerdael Forest. I set out along the Red Bloso, picking in on the Blue and then decided to follow this, with a few excursions and shortcuts along the way. I made a little detour into the Justin Scheepmansstraat, coming from the Zoete Waters on the Meerdaelweg, to take a picture of the blooming rapeseed in the fields.

Moving on, taking the exciting singletrail downhill into Sint Joris Weert and then back into the forest for the remainder of the Blue.Taking an alternative downhill towards the Savenel wall I spotted a fox on the long uphill. Arriving at the top I took a right for another exciying downhill along the field overlooking the Savenel wall again. Making it to the Grezstraat and taking a picture of the forgotten trail I came out of.

Back on the Red in the reverse direction to make it home with a little over an hour in the legs and an easy 119bpm average heartrate.
