10-20-2019 Ride

Solo ride on a Sunday morning, still on holiday.  Out Ben Zvi and the 44 to the 40, taking a steady pace, not so fast but not so slow.  Decent speed on the way out to that point.  Headed south on the 40 to the 411, then rode to Hulda and beyond to Hwy 3, turning left and taking it the short distance back to the 44.  I was aiming for 50 miles total, so I turned right on the 44 and headed up the first gradual climb to a turnoff toward Tslafon and Gizo, two small communities.  It was generally uphill, so that slowed me down.  Got to a suitable turnaround point and rode back to the 44, then toward home.  The ride back was okay.  I could feel the weariness in my legs, but they generally held up.  Not much of a wind to speak of.  Got back home, and I was really hungry, again not eating anything during the ride.

Avg speed = 17.5 mph. Total mileage = 49.3 mi
Avg heartrate = 145 bpm
Total elevation gain = 1690'
