Had a day off from work today and I decided to check out part 2 of my Secret Meerdael Loop. Those who know or have ridden it with me as a guide know its a toughie. So I took it very easy and relaxed . The trails were pretty overgrown and I had to remove a branch here and there as well. I left my mud fenders on the bike, because it had rained a little bit during the night . The weather was sunny and warm . I took the time to stop and take some pictures to wet your appetite. If you feel like joining me on these trails don't be afraid to contact me. The only thing I ask is to leave your GPS at home.
The trails were moist but not overly so, and my Jimmy/NBX Lite combination found traction most of the time. The only time I had to get off of my bike was on a very steep climb in Nethen were I kinda fell asleep and my front wheel collided with the gully border. I was right awake afterwards and tried to be a little more concentrated the rest of the ride. Some of the downhills were very nasty and because I was with the Litespeed I was at the limit of my V-brake powers trying to brake at the end of them. But I had no troubles, in some downhills, speed is your friend. I was pretty tired but very satisfied near the end of the ride. The weather was rather hot with 25 degrees and it was rather broody with thunderstorms building up. By the look of the clouds it would seem that this time we will not escape them.
