11-30-2019 Ride
A curious day where the riding was harder than I expected. Met Oren at normal starting spot and headed out to Hwy 4 to head north. After the previous day's ride and playing badminton in the evening, maybe I was more tired. Oren was riding fast, so we traded leads for most of the day, setting a faster pace than we typically ride. Out to Hadera and beyond, to the 65, where we turned right onto the 6403. I was half expecting that this was where we were going to stop for coffee, so it was a chore to continue riding for me. A right on the 574 for a short downhill before turning onto the 581. I was struggling to keep a pace, hanging with Oren but working at it. Thankfully, we stopped not too much longer at a cafe for a coffee and chat about situation at HP Scitex. It wasn't too much of a revival for me, as getting back on the bike and riding at speed was still tough. Continued on the 581 until we turned onto the 5803, turning into the 5714. Back to the 57, where we turned and headed back to Netanya, initially starting off at a slower pace but picking it up over time. Then back to the starting point the normal way. Average speed was decent, but level of personal effort needed to complete it was higher than expected.
