Hot weather forecast for today, so I started at 8AM in an effort to beat the heat. Starting with a temperature already around 20 degrees C and the wind which was slowly picking up from the southeast. I rode towards Hoegaarden where I picked in on the Ravel 2. Following that past Eghezee to reach Longchamps. The wind was nicely sheltered by the shrubberies around the Ravel track. I was taking it easy on the long steady uphill from Jodoigne to Eghezee. Arriving in Longchamps I took a right turn and rode towards Perwez, passing first through Mehaigne and Aische-en-Refail along the way. The wind was in my back now and the sun also. From Perwez I took the Ravel coming from Gembloux back to where it merges with the Ravel 2 . Arriving at Hoegaarden again I decided to ride past the Goudberg geosite and then onwards to Oorbeek and Kumtich. Pausing for a while at the geosite I took a couple of pictures before moving on.
