10-28-2017 Ride

Posted long after this ride.  The route tracking for this ride wasn't correct, so I'll try to reconstruct it.  Judging from the starting point in Yehud, this was a ride with Dror Reginiano and his group, probably the first one I did with them.  I think Zvika was in the ride as well, not positive on that.  Headed out the 461 to the 40, and I got ahead of the group and continued on the 40, not knowing that the others had turned at the 453.  One of the riders caught up to me and we turned around and rode back to the others.  At this point the route tracking stopped, so I think we headed over to the 444 then the 5505 to get to the 443 heading up to Modi'in.  This is a gradual climb, pretty steady, and I remember being generally able to keep up with them.  Past Modi'in, we turned right onto Derech Yair Parag, which changes into Derech Menachem Begin.  Over to the 4249, which generally dropped down to the beginning of Hwy 3.  This road had a short little climb up to get over to Latrun, where we stopped for a break before continuing.  Then we continued on the 424, flat and fast until the little climb up to Kfar Bin-Nun.  Then it was another long downhill run to the 44 connection.  I think it was on this ride that I got a front tire flat and the support car swapped my wheel with a spare so I could continue quickly.  That was pretty great.  We took the 44 back to the 40 and headed north, still at pretty high speed (these guys rode fast).  Took the 40 back to the 461 and to the starting point.

Total mileage = 43.1 mph

Total elevation gain = 2040'
