Solo ride in the morning, getting a late start and having to pay the price by dealing with a lot more traffic. I also didn't choose the route too well on this account. Headed out Ben Zvi past Hwy 4, keeping on it and then choosing on a whim to turn right onto the Derekh Haim Herzog and ride toward Rishon LeTsiyon. I rode down to the 431, then took a street to connect to the 412 and start heading back. Slow through downtown. I stayed on the 412 and took it past the airport to get to the 461, where I turned left and headed back home the normal way. Traffic was pretty bad once I crossed Hwy 4 heading west. Felt fine on the ride, but I didn't really push myself much.
