A bit chilly at only 2 degrees C, but at least the wind was light and it was bright and sunny, so it wasn't too bad.

Because the rain I endured yesterday persisted and got worse, I took the afternoon to go visit the Centrum Ronde van Vlaandren with my son.

But, yesterday, I rode 164km…weather forecast was supposed to be light drizzle and mist. Well, it’s Belgium, and I should have known what would happen. It poured from the sky. And the route was excellent. Saw the four hydraulic actuated boat elevators that sit between between Haudeng-Gœgnies and Thieu on the “Canal du Centre” and the modern lift at Strépy-Thieu. Then stopped off for coffee and Christmas baked goods at a friend’s house in Mons, then rode back to Brussels via the Brussels-Charleroi Canal. Did I mention it rained, a lot?

284km of the Rapha 500 are complete. Now if the rain lightens up, instead of 500km, I might get 1000km before Saturday. We shall see, gotta get the base built, spring will be here soon!

50 miles Yesterday and 30 today with some remarkable December weather here in middle Tennessee.

29 miles on the road. It was about 48 F when I started and dropped down to 42 F. Cloudy day and a few drops fell from the sky.

Only 7.97 miles but still recovering from injuries. Will be getting some plates and screws out in 2 weeks, can't wait.

23 miles today after the rain stopped. Mid-40s, mostly cloudy and delightfully messy on the trails.

Warmed up today. Perfect day for my third imperial century of the year.

That's the air reservoir for my Air Zound air horn. There was enough space between the rack stays and between the rack and fender that that became a perfect spot for it - it's completely out of the way there.

26 mile mountain gravel and road on the mountain bike. A hot 65 F and humid here in Eastern Va. I have to remember to bring my slap bag to carry the smarty phone so I can take pictures.

Just 10 miles for me today. The 5 miles to the site took about 40 minutes. 68 year old cancer survivor with a bad knee, and riding my single speed flat bar roadbike. A number of hills, headwinds, short walk of shame, a couple quick stops for some water. This, for our weekly group I call the Chess Geezers. But, that ride home! Lots of downhill rifing, and the same route takes just 15 minutes. Fun as can be, like an amusement park ride. Both hubs are nicely greased, so it glides really well. FUN!!!!

drsmoooth 12-29-21 10:43 PM

25 miles today on paved bike trails.
