First ride again in almost two months. So much for that good start of the year! Bad weather and busy schedules — no excuse, I know. Since I was using my MTB again, I decided to take a detour on the way to (and back from) Mechelen, across a patch of MTB terrain I’ve had my eye on for some time now. Great fun! Will be doing some more of that next time I’m there with the MTB. I decided to take the (very) slightly longer way back via Lier to change things up a little, but didn’t account for the strong headwind blowing along the Nete — which wore me out a little. Still, the sun was starting to set and reflecting on the river’s surface, so it was worth it.
