The forecast for today spoke of light rain and drizzle starting around noon so I rode out around 9.30 AM to be sure to keep it dry. I rode out with the Psychlo-X once again, keen on making some kilometers. The wind was blowing from the southwest and whilst I was riding through Hamme Mille towards Jodoigne I had it coming from my right. Took a detour over Lathuy to ride towards Dongelberg. Checking the castle gate I noticed it was open. This was a chance to slip into the castle grounds and make a quick snapshot of the castle before I was noticed.
Riding on towards Jodoigne and then taking the long cobble road towards Saint-Remy-Geest. Taking a right towards Saint-Jean-Geest where I injected myself onto the Ravel towards Hoegaarden. A little bit of off-road to reach Klein Overlaar - no problem with the Psychlo-X - and then I was riding upwards to the Goudberg geosite. To the north now towards Oorbeek and Kumtich. Here I took a left turn and had the wind against me as I made my way towards Willebringen. From Willebringen I drove to Neervelp and Bremt. Over Bierbeek into the Meerdael Forest for a stretch of forest road that took me to the Naamsesteenweg. Following that into Blanden I had a good solid ride under my belt. Average heartrate under 100bpm so no stress for my heart.
