Solo ride from home, Oren was laid up with a knee he damaged while skiing. Out Ben Zvi and the 44 to the 424, continuing on that road until just before Mishmar Ayalon, where I turned around at mile 18 and basically retraced my route. On the way out, I felt like I was riding into a slight headwind, but I didn't really feel any positive effects on the way back. In fact, after I got close to Hwy 20, the wind was in my face. I could really feel the effects of not having ridden in the last two weeks, not just from my struggling to keep a decent pace for any sustained time but also from the high average heartrate shown below. Need more sunny days on weekends to put in miles and get back into shape.
Avg speed = 16.9 mph. Total mileage = 36.3 mi
Avg heartrate = 156 bpm
Total elevation gain = 940'
