Another sunny day and even though there was a cold wind blowing from the north, I didn't mind riding out. Considering the wind I decided to do a leisurely ride in Heverleebos and Meerdaelwoud. Setting out fairly easy into Heverleebos and the gradually turning into Meerdaelwoud where the height differences became more important and the technicality of the tracks grew. I took my time to look around - even more than I usually do - and take some pictures. There were quite a few occasional mountainbikers - easily recognized by their lack of helmet - and runners in the forest.
The forest tracks were mostly dry and the forest looked clean and clear. There were a lot of white flowers blooming in the wetter areas. I did some challenging uphills near Nethen and also some tracks I didn't do in a long time. Small singletrails which were either going very steeply upwards or dropping down along steps downhill. The Fox RLT on my Litespeed gave me confidence and also the necessary rigidity to tackle them all without looking back. I decided not to ride too long because I have an offroad session with the KBC mountainbike club tomorrow - the first this year - and need to save my strength also for this saturdays Tour de Flandres ride. Instead I thoroughly enjoyed the warm sunrays in the sheltered areas of the forest and took my time to explore every nook and cranny along the way.
