Solo ride in the morning, heading out Ben Zvi and the 44 to the 40. I could feel a headwind on the way out, which slowed me down somewhat. At the 40, I headed north to the 443, then out toward Ben Shemen and Modi'in. It's a gradual climb, and I was feeling good on this stretch. Out until I got to the turnoff for Modi'in West, where I turned around and retraced my route. Fast back to the 40, and also fairly fast on the 40. I had a good pace on the 44 back home as well. aided by a noticeable tailwind. Legs felt fine, although my heartrate was a little higher than I would have expected.
