Another beautiful sunny day and I rode out quarter to 10 again. After yesterdays' intense ride I decided to take it easy today. Focussing on relaxed riding without putting too much strain on my muscles. That also meant being overtaken a couple of times and even though I could, I did not attempt to follow the overtakee . I started out over Egenhoven and downtown Bertem and then made my way to the Tervuursesteenweg in the direction of Tervuren. Following that for a while until I took a left turn to enter Vossem. From there I rode up to Duisburg and continued to Eizer and Overijse. Dropping down to the Frans Verbeeklaan I decided to tackle the Hagaard, a steep short climb which brought me up to the N263 which I crossed and then I followed the Reutenbeek and made my way to the Geitenhoek and Terhulst. Entering Brabant Walloon now for a short while into Rosieres and then back into the Flemish province of Brabant when I entered Tombeek. Up to Ottenburg and then onwards along the Vetsaart through Sint Agatha Rode. Taking a left towards the Wolfshagen which I followed to Neerijse. Here I joined the Sint Jansberg Steenweg which took me back to Egenhoven. Crossing into Heverlee and then back home along the Naamsesteenweg. Even though I accumulated quite a bit of heightmeters I experienced this as a relaxed recovery ride. Near the end I could up the speed a little bit with the gentle southern wind pushing me along. The sun and light breeze provided excellent conditions for a cycle outing.
