Wanted to check out how to get to the Abdij of Vlierbeek from my place so I biked over there over Heverlee and Kessel Lo. Did not find the place where the start of the MTB-O will be, the Rozenkrans pub, but I had a look around the abbey grounds and made some pictures. I could see the Kesselse bergen and the Chartreuzebos looming over me when I rode over to Linden to make my wat back to Korbeek Lo. Seeing that the weather was fine I added another loop over Bierbeek, Opvelp, Beauvechain and Tourinnes before returning over Hamme Mille and Meerdael. The sun was shining overtime today and even though there was a northerly wind blowing, I recorded an average temperature of 12 degrees C. In the sun and out of the wind it was simply wonderful to be.
I did some research on MTB-O in the meanwhile and it is becoming clear that this might be quite a challenge. But since it will be my first time, my only goal will be to find all the control points and generally finish the ride. I have the idea they don't allow GPS so I will put mine in my backpack . I can't imagine riding without it recording the ride, so if they make a problem out of that I will simply not start. I need to familiarize myself with the card and compass way of going from point A to B but I already found some good explanations on some of the MTB-O sites around the world.
