Felt tired this morning, which was to be expected after two days with a lot of heightmeters and kilometers. So I decided for an easy ride on the road. It was the first time this month I took the Hilset out. I started along the Weertse Dreef towards Sint Joris Weert. The weather was fine but there was a nasty wind blowing which would hamper me in the second part of the ride. The sun came through the clouds from time to time and out of the wind the temperature felt pleasant.
From Weert I rode towards Nethen and then over Pecrot to Archennes. From Grez I climbed to Heze and further onwards to Longueville. Here I chose to ride to Dongelberg and try to make my way towards Melin and St Remi Geest .

After crossing Dongelberg I remembered the little road that took me towards Lathuy. From there I took the direction of Melin, crossing the big road towards Jodoigne and then onwards to reach this little village. One of the most beautiful villages of Wallonie, as it is mentioned when you reach its borders. A lot of the houses here are built with the typical Gobertange sandstones, giving them an ancient but neat look. Pausing to take some pictures from the church - also in Gobertange stone - I then rode towards Saint Remi Geest. Very cobbly roads in this area but also a very beautiful little village with a typical church in Gobertange stones.

From St Remi Geest I took the cobbly road towards Zetrud-Lumay and then - just before reaching Hoegaarden - disappeared on a small tarmac road that led me past Hoegaarden towards Meldert. From here I just had to ride through Bierbeek before arriving home again. On the last part of the ride, the wind was blowing in my face which wasn't helping to keep my heartrate low. But in all I can't complain with and average heartrate of just 113bpm during this ride.
