Weather was fine in the afternoon so I decided on another mixed ride. I wasn't feeling too bad either so might as well make it a longer one. I rode towards the Sonian Forest over Duisburg and the edge of Tervuren. In the forest I made a small loop enjoying the warmth of the sun when the wind was blocked by the trees. The wind was blowing from the north and getting here it had been favorable. So I was expecting a tougher ride back home. I let my GPS plan the ride home. It led me through the Kapucijnen kelder and then onwards to Duisburg and the Ganspoel. I noticed a dark cloud and even got a couple of drops whilst I was speeding in the direction of Neerijse. I noticed that the GPS sometimes made the weirdest choices of roads. At one point it made me make a loop while I could have gone straight instead. And when I reached Meerdael Forest it even sent me straight through the military compound. Obviously it does not know that the compound is forbidden entry. Before reaching home it made me make another strange loop. I wasn't too bothered because it was again clearing out and I even made and extra loop to the borders of Heverleebos and then into Blanden.
