Today saw a grey start but with a temperature of around 11 degrees it was quite mild. The forest roads were moist but not overly wet when I set out for a first 12k lap from Meerdael over Kouter into Heverlee forest. All the way to the Arboretum and then back over Vaalbeek into the Meerdael forest. When I was halfway through the second lap it started to drizzle. Trails got wetter and the fun quickly vanished out of the ride. I completed the 12k lap, added another little one and then rode home.
