Last-minute ride with Oren, planned on Friday morning after an exchange in the night. We started around 7:00 and headed out to Hyw 4, going north. I forgot my FitBit at home and so couldn't track the workout on this app. Also, I didn't reset my cycle computer at the beginning, so I just have MapMyRide data.Through Hadera to the 651, this out part of the ride was really nice, with a steady tailwind helping us. We turned east on the 651, riding up to the 652 and turning right before taking another left at a roundabout onto the 6502. This road winds around and changes into the 6403 when it crosses Hwy 6. Up to the 574, turning south for a short while before getting onto the 581, another winding road that leads all the way back to Hwy 4. We stopped for coffee and a sandwich at Jacob's Cheeses, and I was a little worried that the headwind on the way back to Netanya was going to be a problem, especially after the stop. However, it wasn't bad at all, maybe due to a wind shift and perhaps to a little better conditioning on my part. In any case, I felt pretty good on this section, while Oren's knee started bothering him. General retrace of route back to the starting point. It was humid, but I wasn't too much affected until near the end. All in all, the best I have felt and done on a longer ride in a while, also not too tired afterward.
