Ride Report
The Green Wheelers
Mountain Biking in Israel
Ya'ar Ha Kiddushim Friday 28th November

Today we decided to have a ride in the Jerusalem area because of numerous requests from Tel Avivians who wanted a ride closer to home. Unforunately people did not take advantage of this and only four of us turned up. The weather was perfect for riding - a little cool and dry - no rain yet!!
We startted off by climbing passed the Benei Brit Caves and then along the sweet smelling Nahal Kisalon!. Hopefully the sewage drain that burst will be reapired quickly!
After about twelve kilometers of climbing we reaped the reward of our efforts and freewheeled downhill (on the black route) back to our cars at Eshtaol. A total of 23 kilometers - 12 kilometers of climbing and the rest "surfing" downhill back to the cars.
We continued with the gentle climb along Nahal Kisalon and then turned left towards Shoava (trail marked green). The climb was much steeper, but thankfully short!
The route was challenging- yet not to difficult - a perfect "intermediate" level ride.
If anyone wants high resolution copies of the pictures, let me know which picture and I will E Mail it to you.
Next Saturday (6th December) we plan to have a ride in the Rosh Pina area. You MUST register for this ride by Wednesday 3rd December. Registration by E Mail to: [email protected]
