Solo ride in the morning, starting at 6:00 and taking advantage of the early sunrise. Out Ben Zvi and the 44 to the 412, where I turned south to keep from having to ride into the sun. Out through Rishon Letzion, Nes Ziona, and Rehovot to the 40, where I again turned south and rode until the outskirts of Gedera before turning around. Back on the 40 to the 44, then I rode home the normal way. Felt good throughout the ride, not a scorching pace but a decent steady one. On an unfortunate note, the plastic on my pedal broke and I couldn't clip in any more. New pedals needed, which is a bummer.
