Took half a day off from work to make the most of a sunny afternoon. Took the Hilset and started on the Vlaanderen Fietsroute. After 1h45 I turned around and took the same way back. Except for an extra loop over l'Ecluse that is. Legs felt tired and used towards the end but that is what training is all about isn't it. I am on call throughout the weekend and therefore I could be confined to shorter rides near to my home. So now I have at least a good long ride to start the weekend with.
Ride Stats : 94K and 605 heightmeters in 3h59mins
8050/75500
I would like to end on a sad note, multiple Duathlon World Champion, Belgian Benny Vansteelant , died in hospital this morning.
He was severely injured when during a training ride his bike was hit by a car. He sustained multiple bone fractures and internal injuries to the spleen, the lungs and the heart. He was operated on successfully, taken out of the ICU yesterday and bound to fully recover when early this morning his condition worsened and he was found dead around 6.45am in his bed in the Roeselare hospital .He shall be severely missed. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
