Despite the forecast for thunderstorms and rain there was not a cloud in sight when I rode off for a ride with the Vortex. I decided to stay close to home nevertheless so I rode towards the Haasrode Industrie Park for a couple of laps around the compound. The wind was blowing quite strong an after 2 small laps I decided to go for the slightly longer Lindenboom lap. This is some 8.1K and comprises a couple of ascents . The wind was really nasty only on two particular sections of a couple of 100 meters but for the rest it was not bothering me too much. The legs were slow to warm up but after a while they were fine. I moved the Arione saddle up 0.5cm and this felt a little better. After 6 big laps I decided to call it a day and ended up with a normal lap of 2.3K. On the way back to Blanden along the Expressweg I had to fight the wind which made this a very tough section near the end of the ride.
