The weather was superb this morning and rather warm for this penultimate day of October. I took the Merlin out for a spin along the Green Bloso in Meerdael. The trails were dry and covered with leaves. Demanding attention but very fast. I rode a good pace, also on the uphills, thanks to the effectiveness of this bike and good legs. Even though I have done nothing but hiking these last couple of weeks my cycling legs are still there.
