Time for another ride so I took the Merlin out for a spin through Meerdael forest. I left in the late morning and the sun was peeping through the early autumn foliage in the forest. It felt calm and quiet and I enjoyed the passage. Arriving at Valduc I rode towards Nodebais where I took a u-turn at the little chapel to make my way to Tourinnes and it's majestic church. Little climbs and descents - a lot of them on cobbles - made me relish the fact that I was on a full suspension bike. Back into Meerdael forest to close the gap on the Godensalon. I went for another U-lap to the edge of the forest in Mollendael, passing the highest point of Meerdael forest. Making my way back home I felt tired but satisfied with my ride.
