The weather was sunny but cold when I rode out with the Litespeed Obed around 11AM. There was a nasty northeasterly breeze and I decided to make the most of the cover of the forest. A classic Meerdael ride, following its perimeter with occasional ventures out of the forest. The legs felt fine and I was lucky to have the breeze pushing me on over the fields of Mille towards Valduc. Felt great to feel nature's forces working for you. In and through Meerdael Forest towards Nethen and then slowly making my way onto Sint Joris Weert, the Zoete Waters and Heverlee forest for a last stretch along its rim into Blanden. An hour and a half on a bike and it felt fine.
