What a glorious first day. After a delicious breakfast and lots of stretching, we were on our way. The ride was challenging, especially a frightening 15-minute downhill out of Jerusalem, (many of us have sore hands), only to have a 7-mile uphill. Thank goodness the rest of the day was flat or rolling hills. When we finally arrived in Ashkelon, we swam in the pool, some of us with our biking clothes on. With barely a half hour to relax, we met for a yummy dinner. I do believe we are all eating so much. Hopefully, our riding will counteract all we're eating.
For me personally, this day was very special as I celebrated my birthday on the first day of the ride. My riding buddies were wonderful, got me cake with sparklers, and sang happy birthday to me many times today.
Exhausted, I look foward to day 2.
