Feels like winter may be ending....
In Belgium, any driver over the age of ~56 probably did not take a driving test as that was not mandatory to get a licence here until the mid 70's. I was told this as Allan (a rider from the mountain bike group) was about to lead me around a 4-lane roundabout on the way home from a ride in the forest.
Finally saw Menniken Piss last weekend. He is very short. Also found Jennekin Piss (its a little girl squatting) in her dark alley. Hadn't seen it before, as it is hard to find behind the pile of empty kegs and garbage at the end of that deserted alley.
Rode 3 hours Saturday morning (with only 3 riders instead of 7 this time we did more miles because we stopped less). This ride took us almost to Waterloo and to Tervueren (all through Forêt de Soignes). Went again Sunday morning, for a shorter but much quicker 1.5 hr ride. This photo is from an entry/exit point to the forest into suburban Brussels, looking directly towards downtown. Afterwards I had the first warm shower I had had in 4 days (water heating issues), then off to the Brussels winter regatta. Head racing in front of the king's palace along Canal de Willebroek.
The two rowing clubs at the race site that are next door to each other on Canal de Willibroek. The location is by the King's palace amongst the industrial part of town.
Very sad. Last Wednesday, a woman's jacket was caught in the closing doors of the metro and was dragged down the platform. She later died.
