After a days' rest I was curious how my legs would feel . I started out early to beat the heat. The northern wind was less pronounced so that cooling factor was gone. I decided on a 100K ride. The Rondom Blanden track fits that bill. Starting out over the Zoete Waters and Korbeek Dyle, then towards Leefdaal and up and over the crest to reach Duisburg . On to Eizer and Overijse where I zoomed down the Schavei. From Overijse to Huldenberg and up the Koxberg. Down the Holstheide and through Terlanen towards Ottenburg. The climbs went well. I could keep the chain on the big ring. From Ottenburg it went towards Eerken and then left to Sint Agatha Rode. Nethen and then pecrot were next. Some cobbles to reach Les Monts. Through Grez and the up the long climb towards Heze and Longueville. By now I was well over mid-ride and when I reached Happeau I decided to stop and have a snack.

Onwards to La Bruyere where I did and extra loop before entering Beauvechain. The long climb out of Beauvechain towards Opvelp and then into Neervelp made me realise there was some wind blowing from the north after all. Into Bremt and then towards Bierbeek and Haasrode Industrie where I completed half a lap before following the Expressweg into Blanden. Home just after noon.
