Solo ride, starting around 7:00 from the Nachson junction and heading toward Bet Shemesh on the 44. There were a lot of riders on the road, probably more than I have ever seen. I was slow on the steeper climbs but made good pace on the more shallow climbs. Generally felt good, catching up with a couple of larger groups near my turnaround point at around mile 18. On the way back, I thought about riding up a part of the Tsuba climb but decided not to after all, just a little juke in that direction. Slow on the last climb, it was just time to grind on the pedals. It was starting to get warm near the end, so I was glad to be done.
