Ride with Zvika. We were originally going to ride from the Nachson Junction, but when we met there he realized he forgot his shoes. So we drove back to his house and started from there instead. Out the 411 to the 3, then turning left to get over to the 44. A couple of climbs until we reached the 38. Thankfully, we turned right. Zvika was feeling the effects of a big, 200 km ride from the previous Saturday, so we skipped the major climbing. Instead, it was another steady climb up until we dropped down to the turnoff at the 383. This road is about 12 miles long, and it is generally downhill. Here, Zvika put the hammer down and really pushed the pace everywhere it wasn't climbing, and I just tried to hang on. Back to Hwy 3, which we took to the 411 and headed back to his place via the 40. On this last stretch, he slowed down, and I slowed down accordingly, still picking up the pace occasionally and working harder on the climbing sections. We slowed down to coast in the last mile or so. It was a good workout for me, legs held out well and I got a good cardio workout.
