The sun was out from the onset of the day so around noon I got on my bike for a long road ride. I wanted to do the Ludo Dierckxens, a ride I pick up on in Bierbeek and that takes me nicely in Brabant Walloon. Here it meanders over some quiet backroads through fields and beautiful rural landscapes. I had a good workout on some of the nasty little hills but focussed on a slower pace between them. The wind was blowing from the North again but never really was a factor during this ride. I met my friend Roger in the beginning of the ride and we chatted a bit about past and present rides. he is going to enter the Bart Brentjens marathon tomorrow, which takes place in Maastricht - Netherlands - and is the official Belgian marathon championship. Funny when you consider the amount of fine marathon rides we have during the year in Belgium.
