25 degrees C when I was riding home from work. Hard to believe it is the 22nd of October and that we are in Belgium. When I got home I got a nice surprise package from the Assos Campionissimo team. A white Worksmannschaft jersey and matching socks. Had to try it out immediately and enjoy the fantastic fit those Assos garments offer.
I decided to go out for a real mountainbike ride so I straddled the Litespeed Obed. I inflated the tyres to 2 bars and set out on the Green Meerdael Bloso route. The trails were moist but not wet. The warm temperatures felt good and I made good progress. I noticed the pressure in my Fox RLT80 could use a couple of psi more but decided to leave it that way to counter the pressure in the tyres. When I came to the Zoete Waters I took the Blue Bloso into the Kouterbos and finished my loop back to Blanden through the military compound. I went for an extra loop over Vaalbeek to cool down along the O.L.Vrouwstraat. The bike performed flawlessly with its new bottom bracket and I enjoyed the smooth shifting of the XTR equipment. When I arrived home the 25 degrees had already dropped to a more mundane 15 degrees C but still with no wind to speak the dropping temperatures did not bother me much.
