The original plan was to cycle furthermore along the Leie to Deûlémont and from there along the Deule till the Citadelle in Lille. Unfortunately, a first flat near Wilsbeke and then another one behind Kortrijk, apparently due to a damage of the tyre that i wasnt able to identify. Therefore broke off the track at Menen/Halluin and took a shorter, more direct route to Lille from there.

Medium Cross-Country tour mainly based on the MTB route ‘Beringen Zwart’. Several changes have been made especially in the area south of Beringen and Heusden to reduce the amount of paved pathes there, which many do criticise on the ‘official’ route. Start moved from Heusden to Beringen, as there is a nice single trail along the SNCB route, perfect for the warm up. The MTB park at be-MINE on the terril in Beringen is absolutely fantastic – unfortunately, there was a running race scheduled there on Sunday, so parts of it were not really usable. At the and added another ca. 20km via ‘De Wijers’ to Hasselt. The section west of the Albert Canal can be completely omitted, as there is absolutely nothing to experience there for MTB/CC.

Sports-oriented tour to train energy/strength distribution over longer distances. Including travel to/from Landen station + some points in Liége a total of 162.41 km on that day done! The landscape, apart from the Groeve De Keel and Fort Eben-Emael, are unfortunately rather boring. The canal is a canal and looks largely identical along most of its length, and the ports, e.g. in Genk, are not exactly eye-soring either. Even the locks and most of the bridges are standard elements that are simply repeated in copies over and over again. After 5 kilometres, you have seen everything and feel like you are in a constant state of déjà vu.

Last link completed: The tours in Luxembourg are now also connected to the rest: No more gaps in my personal network. Unfortunately, despite "road bike routing", I was guided through several kilometres of terrain that was difficult to pass with that bike, resulting in a considerable loss of time due to lower speed then calculated. Planned bonus tour to Luxembourg City then canceled, as I would not have been able to catch the train there otherwise.

Follow-up to finally connect my routes in the Ardennes with the rest of my network on the map. Short detour to the race track in Francorchamps. Due to the autumn weather, unfortunately everything was covered in wet leaves and often extremely slippery, so for most parts only possible to ride with extreme caution, concentration and reduced speed. A shame, because many of the routes – such as the Ravel 44a – would be perfect for racing if in good conditions. This is particularly annoying because the cleaning service leaves a lot to be desired. In some cases, the roads themselves are swept, but the cycle lanes directly adjacent to them are not, which leads to incredibly dangerous situations.

Combined tour of three very short and technically undemanding routes near Tervuren (green, blue and red). Could also be done on most other types of bike, as a large part of the route is even suitable for road/race bikes. Nevertheless very scenic and ideal for that autumn day. Short detour to a farmstead near Kooige that appears to have burned down a long time ago.

Leider entgegen der Vorhersage nahezu durchgehend! leichter bis mittlerer Regen. Nach etwa 2h bis auf die Knochen durchnässt. Aufgrund der daraus resultierenden Bodenverhältnisse (nasses Laub...) weitestgehend keine hohen Geschwindigkeiten möglich und Tour somit deutlich länger als geplant. Den letzten, sportlich eigentlich sehr reizvollen Abschnitt durch die Kölner Grünzüge daher leider erst nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit erreicht und, da in dem Moment regenfrei aber voller Jogger, statt mit Riesenspass nur sehr vorsichtig befahrbar. Insgesamt, vor allem da klitschnass und irgendwann wundgescheuert, Tour an der absoluten Leistungsgrenze.
