Today saw some fine weather with temperatures reaching 23 degrees C in the late afternoon. I rode out with the Vortex with the idea of doing a 3hrs ride. Over Bierbeek , Willebringen and Kumtich I rode to Hoegaarden where I took the Ravel 2 in the direction of Jodoigne and Eghezee. After 1h30 I was in Eghezee, 45K into the ride. Nice 30kph average. Turning back along the N91 I noticed there was only a slight breeze blowing from the East-Northeast. So I could maintain my high average and I felt good in the legs. I was strong and could keep the chain on the big ring all the time. Arriving in Pietrebais I turned towards La Bruyere and Beauvechain and then straight on to Opvelp. Left towards Bierbeek I was riding into the setting sun. I did 4 laps on the Haasrode Industrie terrain to finish my 3hrs and then rode home along the Expressweg into Blanden. Good solid ride with a good solid feeling in the legs.
