Had an urge to ride into the forest this evening. Even though I knew I only would have about an hour before darkness I set out and started by exploring a footpath I have had my eyes on since last summer. It starts in Sint Joris Weert and goes up very steeply and with a few 90-degrees turns all the way onto the Meerdael plateau. I didn't make it the first time because I didn't feel confident making a right turn, but the second time I cleared it all the way to the top -YESSSS !
Up there I rode towards Nethen where I did a few steep climbs followed by downhills that made me ride very slowly due to the falling darkness and the high technicalilty of the track. Made some figure 8's going up and down until it became too dark too safely ride in the forest. The full moon was out and I rode back with only a red blinking light attached to my gear. Got home safe though.
