Knee is better and route out of Brussels

Sort of funny how my knee feels better when I am riding than when I am walking.  Doesn't hurt walking but is a little stiff.  Rode about 20 km with the Night Riders on Sunday and got my 24 km in today.  I work from home tomorrow so hope to ride early in the cool, cool of the morning.

In the mail today, I received my Vlaanderen Fietsroute - Flanders Bike Route Map.  I am thinking of staying in Brussels from Friday, May 13th through Sunday, May 15th.  If what I read is correct, I will be staying near the Grand Place.  Business hotels give great discounts on Friday and Saturday nights.   I plan on leaving Sunday and heading south out of town along the Brussels Canal for about 20 km.  Sort of this path, http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&rlz=1T4GGLJ_en___US381&q=Sainctelette+brussels+map&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=Sainctelette&gl=us&ei=WSwgTNvOB4WonQegquB6&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBUQ8gEwAA

Somewhere near Huizingen, I will pick up LF 6 to Overijse.  This is about 23 km.  Depending upon how early I leave and how many times I get lost, I might swing off LF 6 at Rhode-Saint-Genese to visit Waterloo battlefield.  http://www.groteroutepaden.be/grlf/v1.nsf/docs/LF6.html 

Really getting into selecting a route.
