At last it stayed dry for most of the day, the sun was peering through the clouds from time to time which allowed the temperature to rise to the 20 degrees C mark. The wind was blowing fiercely from the west with some heavy gusts from time to time. I tried to avoid it as much as possible by keeping in areas with protection from forests or houses. When I arrived in Tervuren I saw a lot of fallen branches lying around in the Forest de Soignes and even though the forest was generally quiet from time to time a howl went through it as the wind picked up. My legs felt good although a bit tired from yesterdays ride. I focussed on making a lot of rpm's and also incorporated as much hills as possible. No power stuff, just a good pace without pushing hard. I was surprised at the amount of heightmeters when I got home, but it was a pleasant surprise. Halfway through the ride the wind was blowing in my back which made some of the hills a real breeze.
