Solo ride from home, leaving later (a little after 11:00) because we walked the dogs earlier and I wasn't sure what the weather was going to be like. Headed out Ben Zvi and the 44 to Hwy 40. Wind was perhaps helping me a little at times, but it never felt like a big boost. When I started heading south on the 40, it seemed like the wind was more in my face, kinda coming from the south-southwest. So that was a challenge. I turned onto Derekh Menachem Begin and rode toward work, and here the wind was even more in my face. When I got to the 412, the weather started to look menacing, and I began feeling some light sprinkles. Riding through Rishon LeTsiyon, it was drizzling and the roads were wet, so that wasn't so pleasant. However, it let up as I got closer to the 44, and by the time I was heading back on this road, the rain had mostly stopped. Wind still wasn't helping me, but it was manageable. Back home, having to watch for more traffic due to the later start time. For a short ride, this was more of a workout than I expected.
