Solo ride, getting off to an early start and originally intending to ride out toward Kfar Sava. I rode for less than a mile before realizing I had forgotten my water bottles. I decided to keep going and buy some water on the way. After I crossed over the Ayalon Hwy, I realized that I wasn't wearing my helmet. Not smart! This time, I turned around, rode home, and got my helmet and some water. I modified the route to head out Ben Zvi and the 44 until I reached Karmei Yosef, then turn around and retrace this route home. I stopped at the turnaround point for a short break, ate a banana, then really motored back, helped by a favorable tailwind and a general downhill slope. Well over 20 mph avg on the return trip.
Avg speed = 18.0 mph. Total mileage = 41.6 mi
Total elevation gain = 1260'
