Time for a ride. The sun was out but a little bit veiled. Nevertheless it was warm even in the early morning hours. I rode towards Tienen for a bigger lap and I was glad there was some shade from time to time. The wind was blowing from the southwest and didn't bother me yet. Turning to the right towards Hoegaarden brought me into the wind and I had to dig a little deeper to keep the speed up. I passed at the Hautem chapel for a selfie and then rode towards Meldert and Beauvechain. On the higher plains the sun was roasting but the wind - even when blowing straight in my face - brought some relief. Over Hamme Mille and the Naamsesteenweg I closed the loop.
