Time for the Vortex again. The sky was overcast but the sun was bound to peep through the clouds soon. I started out along the Naamsesteenweg and the Weerste dreef towards Sint Joris Weert. On through Sint Agatha Rode, Ottenburg and then into Basse Wavre. Up to the Chaussee de Huy which I left as soon as possible to take a parallel road to Gistoux. From Gistoux I rode to the southwest - and into the strong wind - through Corroy-Le-Grand and Corbais until I reached the N4. Following that busy road in the direction of Gembloux. I wasn't sure I would find the ravel coming from Perwez so I took a left towards Walhain. Riding to the North now I could enjoy the wind blowing in my back. Saint-Paul and Libersart flew buy and before long I was back on the Chaussee de Huy. In Odenge I took a left towards Orbais and took a little break in front of the Musee du Souvenir.

In Maleves-Sainte-Marie-Wastines I had to take a detour because the road was blocked due to a brocante taking place. Lots of people, no coming through. Along small tarmac road I reached the road to Opprebais and from Opprebais I rode to the N91. Taking that in the direction of Hamme Mille I could maintain a good pace. I felt relatively good , a little tired in the legs but when I look at the average speed and the records I set on several hills I shouldn't complain.
