The last couple of days saw the snow melting little by little, leaving the offroad a murky and slippery place, to avoid if possible. The main roads were getting dryer and dryer, and saltier and saltier as well. The bike paths were still mostly covered in snow . Wanting to ride out I chose for an easy road ride, which seemed like the best option in these conditions. I had to ride on the road, but the other traffic didn't mind. Cars veered well away, understanding why I was on the road, and not on the snow and ice-ridden bikepaths. The weather was cold and the last rays of the evening sun accompanied me as I rode towards Bierbeek and Neervelp. From there I headed towards Opvelp and Meldert, turning towards La Bruyeres and the Beauvechain. From here I looped back over Nethen, Sint Joris Weert and the Zoete Waters. In all I had a pleasant ride. The average temperature was just 2 degrees C so it felt not too cold.
The girl? She is Brittany Murphy, a young US actress who passed away at the age of 32 on December 20th from what looks to be a medication overdose. I first saw her performing in 'Don't Say a Word' and she left quite an impression on me. I remember this quote if hers, which has a sour taste now that she died :
"Everybody has difficult years , but a lot of times the difficult years end up being the greatest years of your whole entire life , if you survive them"
Sadly she didn't survive this year..
