Detours

Although I have been getting in my 24+ km each day, I have not been blogging.  Getting to the point where my knee feels best when I am riding.  I guess that is a good thing.  The heat so far really has not impaired my riding.  I never drank a lot of water.  Liquids yes.  Water no.  But lately I have been drinking water.  A lot of water.  

I have been trying to create and save a Yahoo or Google map.  Google seems to be the best but I still am not very confident that when I save a map that it will be there when I return.  So I am still looking for other, better options.  Will gladly try any other program so let me know if there is something better.

Maybe the couple days that I spent on creating maps was a good thing.  I am now leaning toward NOT going in Brussels right away.  Rather I am thinking of riding to Leuven from the airport.  It is only 18 km and is primarily in the country.  Leuven is the home of Stella and Leffe.  More importantly it is a college town so should have plenty of bike maintenance experts.  Going into Brussels tired and jet lagged probably is not the best idea.  Further, if I finish my trip in Brussels, that would give me a couple day pad.  I would hate to have to rush across Belgium trying to make my flight.

This new plan probably would mean that I would not see Waterloo battlefield, but that is not on my list of have to stops.  If I get there great.  If not, have another beer and relax.
