After another week of heavy hiking I was set for a stint on a bike today. The weather was cool but dry this morning so I rode out with the Obed. Both tyres at 4 bars because the rear tyre has Stans' liquid in it and the soupape is blocked. So I can't deflate it after pushing it to 4 bars to let the tyre settle on the rim. This provide a harsh and springy ride, not offering a lot of grip on the uphills but obviously snake bites are out of the question with this much pressure. I rode through Mollendaal forest and the set to the south until I reached the outskirts of Mille. Passing through Tourinnes and the up to the little Chapel in Nodebais. From Nodebais to Hamme Mille and up the Kromme Dreef to reach the Prosperdreef. This dreef I followed up north until it was blocked by the E40. Down the Bierbeekpleindreef and then into Blanden for a last stretch before reaching home. The ride went fine although I could feel my legs were not accustomed to riding a bike. Some muscles really strained.
