Two days off the bike  - did an 11.3K forest walk yesterday - and today I was fresh for a long ride. Starting out over Bierbeek and Meldert to reach Hoegaarden and inject myself on the Ravel. Through Jodoigne and reaching Perwez in a record time - according to Strava. I did not have the impression I was riding that fast but a little bit of wind in my back might have made it look a bit easier. In Eghezee I rode on to Longchamps and then turned towards Mehaigne and Aishe-en-Refail . A little bit later I was in Perwez. Riding onwards to Maleves-Sainte Marie-Wastinnes where there seemed to be a cycling event of some sort taking place - lots of slow bikers on the roads - and then taking a right again in Opprebais to reach the N91. Following that for a little while and then turning towards Dongelberg. The chateau was looking pretty hiding behind the trees in the sun. The weather was sunny but rather cool. The high summer temperatures are behind us and there is a certain smell of autumn already in the air. past Dongelberg and then taking a left turn towards Lathuy and further on, crossing the N240, towards Melin. Here I took a left again to reach the N240 again. Following it for a short time and then taking a right turn to reach La Bruyere. Onwards to Meldert where I rode back whence I had come a couple of hours earlier. Opvelp and Bierbeek and then towards the Haasrode Industrie terrain where I did a couple of laps before following the Epressweg towards Blanden. A good solid LSD ride in fine conditions.
