Solo ride in the morning after a late night at the Ulpan holiday karaoke party. I decided to keep pace modest and distance down. Rode up Jaffa St to Derekh Menachem Begin, all good. Traffic was building but not bad. Then I got onto Hwy 2 going north through the city before turning right onto HaShalom Rd, staying on it as it turned into Aluf Sade St and then Derekh Sheba. Some surface streets through Kiryat Ono before heading north on Derekh Levi Eshkol to get to the 481. Still, generally all good. I got through Petah Tikva and Kiryat Sapir to connect to the 40, taking it south. From here, my average speed increased. Back to the Tayyasim Exchange to get onto the 461 heading west. I then turned left onto the 412 to head toward Rishon LeTsiyon, and this is a nice stretch of road. Turned right onto the 44 and headed back home the normal way from here, keeping a high speed and feeling pretty good.
Avg speed = 16.8 mph. Total mileage = 28.6 mi
Avg heartrate = 125 bpm
Total elevation gain = 820'
