After a 1000K on the Moots Psychlo-X it was now time to use the Litespeed Vortex for a couple of rides. The weather was good for cycling, intermittent cloud cover, not too warm and dry. The wind was playing up a bit and it would bother me during the first part of the ride. I rode over Meldert to Hoegaarden, where I injected myself on the Ravel 2. Past Jodoigne until I reached Eghezee. The Vortex is a smooth roller and it really is amazing how the custom made wheels with Chris King ceramic bearings propel you along. When I reached Eghezee I could turn and have the wind 3/4ths in my back. Following the N91 for a high speed passage leading me to Hamme Mille. Here I took a left towards Nethen and then rode past Sint Joris Weert and the Zoete Waters to Oud-Heverlee. Following the new bike path along the E40 to the Naamsesteenweg, crossing that and then following the Bierbeekpleindreef past the Cemetery to the Haasrode Industire zone. The Expressweg lead me back into Blanden to close a solid loop. The legs felt great .
