Solo ride in the morning, getting started a little after 6:00. It was the standard loop out to the 40 via the 44, except that I took a detour through Ramla. I didn't push the pace much throughout the ride, just trying to get back into the groove of riding after missing last weekend. The section on the 40 went by quickly, helped by a general slight downhill slope and something of a tailwind. The pushing wind usually present to help me home on the 44 and Ben Zvi was not as noticeable.
Later on in the day, I installed the heartrate monitor with the broken watchband holder on my handlebar stem. We will see if it works. since it's held on with foam tape. My Fitbit smartwatch died from a brief exposure to water when we floated in the water last weekend at Gan HaShlosha.
