Bike ride from Golan Hgts - first ride

We sent a wonderful day in Tel Aviv yesterday - weather was amazing.  Most of the time we were on the  beach - the water is quite warm and the sea was calm - ideal for swimming.  Of course we walked a lot as well.

In the evening we were taken by bus to Kibbutz Hagashrim in the Golan Hgts - had a late dinner and hit the sack early to get ready for an early start the next day.

Nimi enjoyed her ride with the "tourist" group - not so hilly and not so long.

My ride was hilly, long - 110 km with over 1500 metres of climbing.  The weather was  hot and windy making it even more challenging, however, I survived it.  My riding is certainly not as strong as before - must be an age thing.

Will have pictures in a few days from our photographer.
