Ride from parking lot in Netanya, meeting with Slavik but not Oren, who stayed home because Cathy was not feeling well. We took the normal northbound route up Hwy 4, this time to Zichron Yaakov, where we both rode up the little hill into the town. The wind favored us on the way north, and our pace was slower as we spent the first portion riding side by side and talking. The little climb felt good, not great, and it was the first time in a while that I have ridden a grade. The way back was slowed by the wind and my general fitness. I couldn't keep up any steady pace on the flats greater than about 17-18 mph. More improvement in fitness needed. We met Oren at the Landower coffee shop in Netanya, then Slavik and I headed back to our respective starting points. Later in the day, I was really tired but not sore. Weather was generally cooperative, a little cooler until the sun started coming out, still humid.
