Today saw a dry day and when I got home from work I was eager to get on the Obed and ride out into the forest. The trails were perfect, a little moist here and there and with the occasional puddle to keep it interesting. I decided to follow a Meerdael perimeter track I rode a while back, but only picking up on it halfway through the ride, following the N25 towards the south towards the track. The first part of the trail was pretty hilly with some nice singletrail. Once the trail got to the Kouterbos, and then into Heverleebos , the undulations became less pronounced and the big plate was coming into play more and more. I felt energised and strong, notwithstanding the fact that all I ate today were 2 sandwiches and 2 oranges.
