Yesterday evening saw the passing of very violent thunderstorms. It rained incessantly from 7pm up to 10pm and the thunder and lightning was really bad. It rumbled on until way past midnight.
This morning I took the Hilset out and when I was making my way past the Zoete Waters and further on to Nethen and Tourinnes, I couldn't help but notice the damage that had been done by the water. At some places they were still cleaning up the streets and the rivers and rivulets were all filled to the brim. I stopped at some places to take some pictures.  

I had to stop around the 25K mark to knock my Tune sixpack back into its place. This might very well have been the last ride with this crankset. I've been waiting for 3 weeks now for replacement bearings and quite frankly I just about had it with Tune. The only real advantages are that the crankset is very light, pretty to look at and that the titanium triebtreter chainrings seem to last forever. But without a dealer in Belgium getting replacements is a tedious process. All this has prevented me from making longer rides with this bike for the past weeks. I am looking at alternatives, including a new crankset alltogether.
The weather was dry and with temperatures around 15 degrees and a nice sunshine it was fun being out. But more rain is forecast and the offroad is pretty muddy at some places.
