Ride with Oren Perets starting around 6:00AM from our normal meeting place in Netanya. We headed out to Hwy 4 and took it north to Hedera, turning there for a different route through the southern outskirts of town and eventually back to Hwy 9, heading east. On this stretch, I pushed the pace and caught up with a couple of cyclists on TT bikes, trading leads for a while and going pretty fast. We turned off at the 581 and took it south, eventually turning onto that winding road that goes by Gan Yoshiya and over Hwy 6. We headed back west on a road leading toward Netanya but turned to head further south toward Pardesiya and that road where time trialists practice riding back and forth. Over by the field where paragliders take off and land, then over to a road heading north in parallel with Hwy 4 to a rest stop where we had iced coffee. It was heating up by then, and Oren had been slower for the last 10 km or so. He felt better after the break, and we took Hwy 2 all the way back to the stadium and to his house, where he washed Zvika's bike and let me borrow a wrench to lower the seat back. This was a long ride in hot and muggy weather, but I felt good due to its small elevation gain.
Avg speed = 16.0 mph. Total mileage = 48.9 mi
