Very windy weather and the possibility of showers was making me decide to do an easy recovery ride today. Starting out over the Zoete Waters and Sint Joris Weert towards Nethen, Hamme Mille and Nodebais. The wind was tugging on me and its gusty character made it dangerous between the houses. Riding up to Beauvechain and then taking a left in the direction of Opvelp and Neervelp. The fun was over when I turned left again and faced the wind straight in my face whilst I battled my way into Bremt. Having some shelter behind the E40 I crisscrossed through Bierbeek and arriving at the Industrie Park in Haasrode I could not resist doing a local loop. Unfortunately one of the clouds decided to let go when I made my way towards Heverlee Park. Not a full blast shower but I got wet nevertheless. Fortunately it was over soon and when I arrived in Heverlee at least the rain was gone. Only the wet roads made the ride a little treacherous now. Soon I was riding along the Naamsesteenweg into Blanden. My average heartrate was nicely in the recovery regions with 112bpm and the average temperature of 20 degrees made it - all things considered - a very enjoyable little ride.
