After a day of continuous rain this morning saw a drenched landscape wake up under fog and temperatures around 10 degrees C. There was no more rain forecast - at least not for this part of Belgium - so I decided to ride out for a long road ride. I started following some arrows that passed in front of my house and they led me through Meerdael Forest, Sint Joris Weert, Neerijse and Leefdaal towards Vossem. Here they seemed to end. I rode through the Tervuren park, its ponds still under a shroud of mist but the sun was making an effort to pierce through the low-clouds layer. Rode on towards Hoeilaart and from there towards Maleizen. I was on a relatively slow pace but I couldn't resist incorporating some climbs along the way. Especially around Hoeilaart and later when I descended into Genval I was being served with steep tarmac sections. When I reached the Lac de Genval the sun came through the clouds and the temperatures began to rise a couple of degrees. Climbing towards Rixensart and dropping down into Rosieres I rode towards Tombeek and the Wavre industrial parc Noir Epine. Then the track lead me into Ottenburg , Eerken and Pecrot before reaching Nethen and Hamme Mille to complete my ride. The legs felt surprisingly good on the climbs and with the sun coming out it was a nice ride with a surprisingly high amount of heightmeters.
Ride Stats : 77K and 730/746 heightmeters (Polar/Garmin) in 3h27mins
