Started out in the afternoon for a mixed ride. Through Meerdael towards Beauvechain and then from L'Ecluse over small backroads to Hoegaarden. A lot of cobbles here and with my tyres inflated to 3.5 bars on the Psychlo-X I could not really enjoy the bumpy ride. But on the field and forest trails the pumped up tyres did not bother me. When I was on tarmac, of course 3.5 bars are a blessing. Stopping in Hoegaarden to take a picture of its church.

Riding onwards to the ravel and following that for a while until I took a right turn towards Saint Marie Geest. Lost some time looking for a road that wasn't there but then I rode on towards Melin. When I reached the N240 I followed that until I took a right turn on a cobble road towards the little chapel in the fields of Nodebais. I like to stop here for a while and took advantage of the sunlight to take another picture.

On field roads again and through Nodebais, Hamme Mille and Valduc towards the Meerdael Forest again. Following the Prosperdreef until I reached the Weertse Dreef and then took a right towards the Naamsesteenweg and home.
