Weather was sunny this morning, so it looked OK to start on a longer ride. I met up with Johan H. and we started out on a fast ride riding first towards Hoegaarden to inject ourselves on the Ravel 2 . Past Jodoigne and Ramillies with a strong southern wind blowing in our faces. Past Ramillies I took a right turn on the Ravel towards Perwez. From Perwez another right turn brought us on our way to Maleves-Sainte-Marie-Wastinnes and Opprebais. This time the wind was in our favor and the speed went up way past 40kph. A right turn towards Incourt, crossing the N91 to ride through Dongelberg. Past Dongelberg we took a left towards Lathuy and then crossing the N240 we rode into Melin. From here another left took us back to the N240 which we followed for a short distance before taking a right turn to ride past the 1st Wing and La Bruyere towards Meldert. In Meldert we sped along through Opvelp and Bierbeek. A last loop brought us to the Expressweg which we followed into Blanden, completing a 91.5K ride with an average of nearly 30kph. Not bad and a very solid training lap. If the wind would have been a bit less insistent the ride would have been less intense, but to be fair, the wind also helped us along when we were having it in our backs.
