Solo ride in the morning, heading out Ben Zvi to the 44 and then to the 40, heading southwest. Near Rehovot, I got a flat rear tire and had to fix it, which was kind of a bummer but I wasn't in a hurry. Shortly after, I turned onto the 412 and rode back through downtown Rehovot and then through downtown Rishon LeTsiyon before connecting to the 44 and heading home the normal way. It seemed that I was able to avoid most of the headwinds, but the route through the cities slowed me down quite a bit..
