And again, and again. I can never get enough of this magnificent forest. Today, the forecast rain did not appear, instead the clouds were making way for the sun and the wind was blowing fiercely out of south-western directions. The sound of the wind through the leaves is awesome, couple that to the rich smell of the forest when it is damping in the midday sun and you cannot but feel elated to be able to bike through that magnificent theatre. The tracks were great, dry with just a hint of mud from time to time,they allowed a good speed. I started out really easy to give my muscles ample time to warm up. I rode the BLOSO routes in the revers direction so I crossed a lot of bikers on my way. Also a big group of BigM which were again led by David to enjoy the more technical side of this splendid forest. Near the end of my ride I did feel a few raindrops in the hollering wind but with a temperature of around 23 degrees C they did not bother me at all.
