<p>Vous aimez le vélo ?<br />
Vous aimez la photo ?<br />
Vous n&#8217;avez rien samedi en huit (24 juillet)</p>
<p>Nous allons faire un petit tour à vélo qui partira de la place Meiser (ou proximité) jusque Leuven. Le trajet fait plus ou moins 23km, et ce n&#8217;est pas une course, histoire de rassurer les pas super sportifs.</p>
<p>Une photo à faire ? Pas de problème, on s&#8217;arrête on prend la photo, et on continue.</p>
<p>Si cela vous tente, n&#8217;hésitez pas à vous faire connaître dans les commentaires, je tiendrai une liste des participants à jour histoire de savoir qui vient.</p>
<p>Pour le moment, nous sommes trois: </p>
<p>- Michael &#8216;Kanfu&#8217; De Plaen<br />
- Alexandre Istratov<br />
- Benjamin Franck<br />
- David Douiliez<br />
- Aliocha Sioen (presque confirmé)</p>
<p>Rejoignez nous !<br />
Pour ceux qui n&#8217;ont pas de vélo, je vais voir s&#8217;il y a la possibilité de louer un vélo dans un magazin pas loin de Meiser.</p>
<p>Le parcours ressemblera plus ou moins à ça:</p>
<p><iframe width="550" height="400" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&amp;source=s_d&amp;saddr=Chauss%C3%A9e+de+Louvain%2FN2&amp;daddr=50.8562377,4.5499641+to:Brusselsestraat&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=Fbj7BwMdcBpDAA%3BFS0BCAMdTG1FACk5xpGd3N7DRzGB_AIRq5kAEw%3BFXZbCAMdvrhHAA&amp;mra=dme&amp;mrcr=0&amp;mrsp=1&amp;sz=17&amp;dirflg=w&amp;sll=50.879955,4.700153&amp;sspn=0.007426,0.006899&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;via=1&amp;ll=50.873578,4.5504&amp;spn=0.173319,0.376968&amp;z=11&amp;output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&amp;source=embed&amp;saddr=Chauss%C3%A9e+de+Louvain%2FN2&amp;daddr=50.8562377,4.5499641+to:Brusselsestraat&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=Fbj7BwMdcBpDAA%3BFS0BCAMdTG1FACk5xpGd3N7DRzGB_AIRq5kAEw%3BFXZbCAMdvrhHAA&amp;mra=dme&amp;mrcr=0&amp;mrsp=1&amp;sz=17&amp;dirflg=w&amp;sll=50.879955,4.700153&amp;sspn=0.007426,0.006899&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;via=1&amp;ll=50.873578,4.5504&amp;spn=0.173319,0.376968&amp;z=11" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Il y a deux semaines, j&#8217;étais sur le tournage de Chaos: un court métrage produit par le collectif Boîte Noire.<br />
Je gravite un peu autour de ce collectif depuis quelques temps. Nous sommes 8 photographes, cinéastes et graphistes qui mettons nos compétences et nos forces ensemble pour mettre au jour de nouveaux projets.</p>
<p>Ce week end de tournage fut assez fatigant: il s&#8217;agissait de tourner principalement de nuit, avec des prises en journées supplémentaires, sur une nationale bloquée pour tout le week end, et à notre entière disposition.<br />
Je vous laisse apprécier les photos sur <a href="http://www.benjamin-franck.com/photography/chaos" target="_blank">la page dédiée</a>, en attendant le mois de décembre et la sortie du court de la post-production.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.benjamin-franck.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/bicycle.png" alt="" title="bicycle" width="580" height="200" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-470" /></p>
<p><strong>Type</strong>: Citadin<br />
<strong>Difficulté</strong>: facile<br />
<strong>Distance</strong>: +/- 18km<br />
<strong>Temps de parcours</strong>: 2 heures (avec deux pauses)</p>
<p>Ce week end, premier essai de mon tout nouveau vélo !!<br />
Nous sommes allés faire un tour dans Bruxelles avec David, histoire de faire connaissance avec la bécane !<br />
Résultat: 18 Km dans les rues de la capitale, pour se rendre compte que finalement, la ville est déjà pas mal adaptée au cyclistes, pas mal de pistes cyclables, pas mal d&#8217;aménagements, de signalisations pour les vélos, et aussi et surtout, un respect de la part des automobilistes que je ne soupçonnais pas. </p>
<p>Je ne dirai pas que c&#8217;est le pied intégral et qu&#8217;il n&#8217;y a aucune critique négative à faire, mais pour un premier contact avec la ville à vélo depuis plus de 10 ans, c&#8217;était une expérience plutôt sympa !! </p>
<p>Au programme: </p>
<p>- Départ de Schaerbeek (bd Lambermont)<br />
- Direction Montgmorery (en fait montgomery est plus simple à vélo qu&#8217;en voiture !!)<br />
- Du Cinquentenaire, nous nous dirigeons vers Schuman (idem que montgomery, plus simple à vélo)<br />
- Rue de la Loi: un plaisir à vélo !! Elle se parcoure aussi vite qu&#8217;en voiture grâce à la superbe piste cyclable !!)<br />
- Petit passage par le parc Royal<br />
- Retour en passant par l&#8217;Esplanade de l&#8217;Europe (un coin que je ne connaissais pas, complètement réaménagé, et franchement bluffant tellement c&#8217;est beau, moderne et propre !!)<br />
- Retour à la maison en repassant par le cinquentenaire, puis montgomery</p>
<p>Je n&#8217;avais malheureusement pas pris mon point&#038;shoot avec moi, donc pas de photos, mais la prochaine fois, je n&#8217;y manquerai pas !</p>
<p>Voici la carte de notre itinéraire:<br />

½ lemon, juice only</p>
<p><strong>Method</strong></p>
<p>1. For the tempura, in a bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder until well combined. Gradually add the sparkling water, as necessary, until the batter mixture has the consistency of single cream. Add the ice cubes.<br />
2. Heat the oil in a deep heavy-based pan until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns brown when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)<br />
3. Dip the broccoli florets and pepper slices into the batter, then carefully lower them into the hot oil. Deep fry for 1-2 minutes, or until crisp and golden-brown, then remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on kitchen paper.<br />
4. For the first dipping sauce, in a small bowl, mix together two tablespoons of soy sauce with all of the sesame oil.<br />
5. For the second dipping sauce, in a separate small bowl, mix together the remaining soy sauce with the lemon juice.<br />
6. To serve, place the vegetable tempura into the centre of a serving plate. Serve the sauces alongside.</p>

<p>Last week, a colleague of mine, who likes Moby as much as I do, told me there was a live performance to buy on iTunes. It&#8217;s an unplugged Moby performance recorded in Montreal.</p>
<p>Wait for me might not be the prefered album from the fans, and it may not be the bes tour for some of them.<br />
I personnally enjoyed the <a href="http://www.abconcerts.be/nl/abtv/p/detail/moby"><abbr title="Watch the recording of this concert on ABtv website !">concert in Ancienne Belgique</abbr></a> A LOT, and this unplugged version is also really, really nice. This is an iTunes exlusive album, just for you to know, you won&#8217;t find it in other stores.</p>
<p>Be sure to check it out !</p>
<p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/itunes-live-from-montreal/id356917267">iTunes link</a></p>
