I wanted to ride my bike outside today, but nothing too tough, so I settled on the first part of my Secret Meerdael Loop. This is not too hilly but very twisty and with lots of singletrack. The forest floor was moist but not wet. Pity they are still foresting trees and the big machines have wreaked havoc on some of the smaller trails. Its a bit ironic when you see signs forbidding all manner of mechanical traffic and then some big machines makes its way into that trail, running over the sign in the process.
Oh well, I had a good ride. The temps were just beneath 20 degrees C, and even though I had to walk at some sections, due to trees having fallen over the trails, I enjoyed the trails and my bike to the fullest. Stopped at the owl to make another picture of it and also at the shelter overlooking Mollendaalbos.
I have inscribed for the 50k distance at the Houffalize marathon this weekend. Initially I wanted to do a longer distance but I want to take it easy with my lower back playing up. I'm sure the 50k will give me a good taste of the region without having to stress my body too much
Ride Stats : 34K and 340/420 heightmeters (Polar/Garmin) in 1h59mins
