Solo ride, after initially planning to meet Oren, who was not feeling well. After two days of faster rides, my aims were modest here. Faster average speed than 16 mph, about 35 miles. So I headed out Ben Zvi and the 44 to the 412, heading northeast to the 4610 and then the 40. North to Petah Tikva, riding past the turnoff to continue on the 40. By the time I got to the 412, my average speed was 14.4 mph, so that was a slow start. I picked up the pace after this. I also found that the road in Petah Tikva doesn't continue for very much longer past the 40 turnoff, so I turned around and retraced my route. Not much help from the wind on this day, since it wasn't doing much that I could detect. On the way back, once on Ben Zvi, I turned right onto Lavon St, which took me to Shalma, and from there it was the normal way back home.
Avg speed = 17.0 mph. Total mileage = 35.0 mi
Total elevation gain = 750'
