The day started overcast and my planned Vortex ride was put into hold because a light drizzle made the streets wet . I opted for a Meerdael Forest walk instead , taking me some 17K into Mollendaal forest.
In the afternoon things were brightening up however and I decided to take the Merlin Works 4.0 out of its winter recess. This bike always beckons me to ride fast and today was no exception. I ventured on the Green Meerdael Bloso route and established a KOM on Strava over this track. Afterwards I cooled down with a loop over the highest mountain in Blanden, back into Meerdael Forest and into Blanden over the Margrietendreef. My heartrate was in the safe zone with an 111bpm average. Not bad for an offroad ride with nearly 23.5kph on average. Merlin magic at work.
