Ride on the day that Pesach starts, heading out Ben Zvi to the 412 and turning left. Early on, the wind was generally favorable, coming as it was mainly from the southwest. I turned onto the 40 and rode out into Petah Tikva, turning too soon, onto the 483, and not realizing it until I was committed. This road is undergoing construction, so it was dicey in spots with little or no shoulder. I saw a sign pointing back to Petah Tikva and turned onto the 444, then another right onto the 471, which quickly became a major highway. Luckily, there was an exit for the 40, so I took it and began to retrace my original route. Riding back south was generally into the wind, and it was a chore, slowing me down. Once I got onto Ben Zvi, near home, I headed toward south Tel Aviv, intending to try and get my miles past 40. Over to Shalma, then slowly back to Yerushalaim, staying on it until turning right onto Dr Ehrlich St and riding up to Yefet St. Back through the shouk. So the last couple of miles was slow. No hills, but riding into the wind was challenging a number of times.
Avg speed = 17.1 mph. Total mileage = 41.5 mi
Total elevation gain = 860'
