This morning saw a heavy shroud of mist hanging over the land. Mist that would more or less remain until well in the afternoon. I wanted to do some easy K's for a change so I set out towards the Canal Leuven-Mechelen for a flat LSD ride. Had a great moment when all of a sudden a large flock of Canadian gees flew alongside me over the canal. We had a good look at each other and the whispering noises of their wings coupled to a few loud shrieks as they no doubt communicated with each other send shivers down my spine. I was riding about 25kph and the easyness with which they kept the same pace was amazing. Then the top geese let out a little shriek and the group veered away from the canal. When I had made my turn in Mechelen and rode back again I saw them on the canal, resting for what no doubt will still be a long travel. How awesome nature can be.
Me I just rode back to Leuven , passed the little Wolvengang and skimmed Heverleebos on my way back to Meerdael. The sun I did hardly see and the average temp was a sparse 12 degrees C. But it was dry and there was no wind to speak of so a good day for a ride.
