08-24-2019 Ride

Solo ride in the morning, didn't hear from Oren the previous day.  I headed north on the main road by the coast up to Rokach Blvd, which eventually turned northeast into the 482.  This was a fairly casual pace, lots of lights and no real incentive from me to push it.  It was quite muggy, energy-sapping in a way.  This road dead-ends into the old town center area of Herzliya, so I backtracked a little bit and got onto the 541, heading east and then turning north, riding until this road petered out, whereby I turned right onto Weizman St.  This road generally headed east and then southeast, and after I got into Kfar Saba I made my way over to the 55, riding back to the 40 and then heading back home the way I've gone before, although a lot slower.  No drive in my legs, and the wind was generally working against me, no matter whether I was riding south or west.  Back to the 461, where I turned and stayed on this road, stopping at a Paz station for a Pepsi and Snickers bar to give me some energy for the last little stretch.  My legs felt okay, just no real push in them or mentally to deliver a higher effort.  Back home via Kibbutz Galuyot route, glad to be done on a ride that was longer than I had originally planned.
