Had a great ride this morning. Rained a bit but was very cool. Chose to ride off the road except directly from my place to the Trinity Trails. Going up the hill on Taylor is quite a bit more difficult than going down. But I made it without stopping. Even had a small cheering section. A hiker near the top of the hill kept saying "You can do it!!!" A couple others gave me big smiles as I crept by. The other cycling lessoned learned this morning is to watch crossing metal bridges particularly in the rain. I rode toward the Stock Yards and crossed the metal walking bridge. As I crossed the bridge, my bike's tires slid. Didn't fall but got quite a rush.
I think I have discovered a way to use the official Belgium biking mapping system on youroute and save it here. If you are unable to see the map PLEASE let me know.
On the first day, May 13th, I hope to get an intact bike off the airplane and put it back together and ride from the airport to Leuven. This is the home of Leffe and Stella. If all goes as planned, after this is posted you will see another post that shows a map of the route.
Then on Day 2, that maybe the next calendar day or just the second day on the road, I plan on riding from Leuven to the National Memorial Fortress of Breendonk - Concentration camp of Breendonk. I have never been to a concentration camp. It holds some dread but I need to go see. http://www.trabel.com/mechbreendonk.htm
