Solo ride in the morning, starting around 6:00. Light traffic throughout. Out to Palmahim and back, following the standard route of previous times. No real wind on this ride, either helping or hindering. At Palmahim, I saw a large number of camping tents, so it might be cool to stay there overnight, sleep near the beach. Nothing special to say about the ride. It was mostly overcast and muggy. The previous day, I had mounted my heartrate monitor watch with the broken strap holder to my bike stem, and it worked out okay. We'll see how the foam tape holds over time.
Avg speed = 17.3 mph. Total mileage = 32.3 mi
Avg heartrate = 148 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1230'
