03-29-2019 Ride

Solo ride, first day of Daylight Saving Time, so I started around 7:30.  Slow going on this ride, hadn't ridden in two weeks and not much exercise other than a lot of walking while we were in Istanbul.Out Ben Zvi and the 44 to the 412, heading northeast.  I saw lightning in the distance after this turn and thought about turning around but kept going.  To the 461, where I rode up to the 40 and turned south.  To the 4613, using it to ride over to the 46, which I took back to the 40 to loop back to the 461.  Home via the 461, with a tailwind that was a help.  Felt okay, just slow.

Avg speed = 16.5 mph. Total mileage = 26.9 mi

03-15-2019 Ride

Solo ride on a cloudy day, standard route out Ben Zvi and the 44 to the 40, over to the 461, then back to the 44 via 412.  I was slow on the outward leg, maybe because of some headwind and getting my rhythm back.  The northbound leg was fast, and I felt like I did better on the return.

Avg speed = 16.8 mph  Total mileage = 30.8 mi
Avg heartrate (Fitbit) = 142 bpm
Total elevation gain = 590'

03-01-2019 Ride

Solo ride in the morning after it rained during the night.  The roads were wet for much of this ride, and I was more careful than usual about not skidding out.  Out the standard way toward Palmahim, but before I crossed under Hwy 4 I turned around because it started to sprinkle.  The weather stayed okay for the ride back, even showing the sun once I got back to the 44.

Avg speed = 16.4 mph. Total mileage = 25.9 mi
Avg heartrate = 139 bpm (Fitbit)
Total elevation gain = 900'
