Well, it was another beautiful day in Israel. What can I say, each day seems to get better than the next. Everybodys riding is getting stronger by the day. Today we rode 59 miles, an all time high for a number of people on the trip. Susan Lapidus has surprised herself, she rode over 45 miles today and she stayed with teh group most of the way. Its such a great accomplishment. Allan is climbing the hills like a monster. Its scary to think that he has just started riding. Ulla is incredible, she flies up the hills like a mountain goat and she is not even wearing clip ons. She will have to find a way to keep riding on the road as I think Israel could have found a new masters champion! Leo is styling on his fancy bike. He definitely wins the prize for well dressed....from the sexy bike to the matching Aessos jersey, pants, gloves and socks....and his riding ability is matching his great dress sense.Gary and Mitch are steady and consistent and also seem to be improving everyday. We are practicing our drafting techniques and becoming real cyclists! And Bob is as strong as a lion!
Today is a well earned rest day in Casearea. Its shabbat and we are all looking forward to a day of rest. Later today, we are being picked up by people from Shar HaNegev for an Argentinian BBQ at kibbutz Sedot Yam on the beach. More food...oy vay! Thank goodness we are riding as I think Ill be rolling off the airplane!
