Early start for a ride that would take me along the Tiensesteenweg from Leuven to the ring around Tienen. Weather was calm and still relatively cool when I rode out. Opted for a 2 hour ride with the Moots Psychlo-X
. It hasn't rained for almost 2 months now - a few drops notwithstanding - and the grass berms are becoming pale and yellow. The forecast is for yet another week of beautiful sunny weather. People can adapt but nature is suffering from the drought. From Tienen I rode towards Hoegaarden and the over Hoksem and Willebringen back to Bierbeek and the Haasrode Industrie Park. From here a straight line back home into Blanden along the Expressweg. Legs felt fine and I could maintain a good pace and keep my average heartrate under 100bpm.
