Limburgs Mooiste
Last Saturday I went to ride Limburgs Mooiste with my 12 year old son. As we only did 2 practice rides, one of 70k and another one of 80k in the weeks before we took the shortest 70k blue route. With all the hills around Valkenburg it would probably be challenging enough. About the distance…

3,5k Jog
Sunday I was planning to go for another bike ride again but it didn’t materialise. Around 3:30 I decided that I had to do something pro active to compensate for the upcoming dinner which would include a lot of food and sitting at the table with some exercise so I went for a run. As…

Maison Belge
Sunday we went for dinner at Maison Belge to celebrate a couple of May birthdays. We’ve been there a few times before and so far it was always a success. The kids opted out this time in favour of a home made pizza + Netflix movie evening. It saved us the worry that the dinner…

La Brasserie des Etangs Mellaerts
Hockey season is nearing its end but not without another busy Saturday with 2 away games on the same day. This time we had to leave around 9:30 for our first match against La Louvière. Because they are renovating their site the match was at Lynx. Not as far but traffic was bad with a…

Preparing for Limburgs Mooiste
Longer ago than I care to remember I participated in this organised bike event around Valkenburg. I wanted to go again but a few years the hockey season was still ongoing on the weekend of the event and then we had covid. Now, finally there are no conflicts so on June the 3rd I will…

Wabi Sabi Leuven
I went for dinner not so long ago in Wabi Sabi Leuven located in the Muntstraat. We normally go to the Bonheiden location but this time I went with some colleagues so Leuven was closer. The quality of the food is very similar between both locations but in Leuven the restaurant is located in an…
