Fine sunny weather this evening so I just had to ride out and profit of the opportunity. Riding through the Weertse Dreef towards Sint Joris Weert the sun greeted me when I exited the forest. Over Nethen and Hamme Mille, extra loop towards Nodebais and the I arrived in Tourinnes la Grosse. The newly restored Eglise Saint Martin was glistening in the sun so I rode up the hill and took a couple of pictures. That tower certainly is big. The church dates from the early 10th century. It has been thorougly cleaned and just recently came out of the scaffolding.


Leaving Tourinnes I rode towards Beauvechain and then took a left for Opvelp. Following the river Velpe along the Hoeveroute and then coming into Neervelp I took a left again towards Bremt. From there back in to Bierbeek and Haasrode with the wind in my back. It wasn't cold with an average temperature of 10 degrees C but the northerly wind wasn't pleasant in the open areas going over the crest between Beauvechain and Opvelp. Coming into Blanden I had a nice easy ride under my belt.
