Ride from Netanya with Oren, heading out to Hwy 4 the normal way and taking it to the 651, where we headed east through the industrial park in Caesarea. To the 652 and then a surface street to get to the 6502, which changes into the 6403. We turned right on the 574 and rode for a short time before turning onto the 581. Oren was slower than usual, especially when we weren't riding on the flats. So we rode on Hwy 9 back to Hwy 4, cutting some distance off. Stopped at the same coffee place as last week, then we took roads through a Moshav instead of going back to Hwy 4. Finally connected with the highway and headed back the normal route. I felt fine, not so fast and my heartrate showed me that my fitness is lower.
Avg speed = 15.9 mph. Total mileage = 40.6 mi
