Good cycling weather today. Sunny and a cooling breeze from the northeast. I started early around 8.30Am. Taking out the Litespeed Vortex for a 100K spin on my own. It had been a while - not the distance but riding it on my own - and I started out at a moderate pace whilst I made my way over Bierbeek and Meldert to Hoegaarden. The Ravel brought me swiftly to Jodoigne and Eghezee, the wind giving me a gentle push. In Eghezee I rode towards Longchamps and then I made a loop over St Germain to reach Liernu. Have a gaze at the amazingly big old oak I rode towards Perwez and then took a right turn into the wind towards Grand-Rosieres-Hottomont. Following the N91 for a short distance until I could inject myself on the Ravel coming from Perwez. A little bit further I found the Ravel 2 again and followed that back over Jodoigne to Hoegaarden. Looping over Tienen and then along the Tiensesteenweg towards Leuven I could make it a little more than a 100K. The legs felt great but I began to feel them getting tired towards the end. Still managed a good average speed considering the wind which gave me no quarter during the middle part of my ride. It felt great to feel its push when I followed the Expressweg into Blanden.
