Solo ride on the last day of the Global Wellness Challenge, so I put a little extra into it, going out Ben Zvi and the 44 to the 40 before turning north. There was a noticeable headwind on the way out, and it helped a little when I turned north, so that section was fast. I turned onto the 443 and ride up to Modi'in and beyond, the road having a general uphill incline but only significant in a couple of spots. This part was also into the wind, but I felt like I had a good ride on this section. I turned around by the checkpoint and enjoyed the ride back, making good time riding downhill with a tailwind. I missed my turn at some point and ended up on Hwy 1 for a time until I exited and got back onto the 40. Over to the 461, still feeling pretty good, and then back to the 44 via the 412. The ride back was faster with the help of the tailwind. I took Shlabim on the way back over to Kibbutz Galuyot and then home the new normal way. This was the first ride in a while that I felt decent throughout and put in a good effort.
