Vlaamse Wielrijdersbond tour in Opwijk

Tweet

This morning I did a route with BBB (Brussels Big Brackets).
Today we rode to Opwijk to make a tour of this area.

125 kms and 910 meters up.

Many people in the forest this morning. But it was very cold to take a picture!

Here go some pictures of the route.

Starting with the canal:

Following the indications.

Until 2 or 3 kms of hard road by pavé, one of us had problems with the chain, I helped him with my chain tool and more or less solved the problem

He had a 11 campagnolo speed chain and he couldn’t use my power link to solve the problem.

Working on the chain.

Only 4 of us did the long route (90 kms), the rest of the people rode a part of the tour and came back to Brussels.

Ice on the road!
There wasn’t that much ice, but it was a bit difficult to break through.

Vlaamse Wielrijdersbond tour:

A stop at this house-mill; the tourist picture of the day.

And the technical photo; this bridge rebuilt to have more width.
It’s for the train, before it only had one line, now two!
It’s very technical solution that I had never seen. I had seen other solutions but with a different built.

And to finish, a big plate of pasta!!

The best part of the day 🙂

Nice training session with some attacks by Gabriel at the end to complete the day.
