Felt like doing some climbing today so I set out on the hilly section surrounding the Kluis and the Southwest side of Meerdael Forest. Created a lap that was some 10K long with just over 300 heightmeters. Some of the hills are steep and the descents are also not to be scoffed at. Some of the smaller singletrails are in pretty bad and washed out condition. Deep gullies and exposed roots make them very tricky. The long sandy uphill along the Savenel wall is extremely sandy. So much so that I had to walk a couple of meters. After the Wolf Trails I did some laps in the vicinity of the old Military compound , upping my average speed from 11kph on the Wolf Trails to almost 18kph over the complete ride. The weather was still nice and calm with an average of 14 degrees C and overcast skies. Arriving at home I decided to change the chain on my Moots YBB. It caused some chainsuck and it rotates badly.
