THE RIDE

Mevo Horon, Latrun and back along Route 1.

Gravel climbs, mostly paved descents. A gravel bike with 40-45 mm tires is the right tool; 45 mm is the more comfortable choice.

Start at Caffit, Anava Park in Modi'in and ride Hashmonaim Rd to the roundabout on Route 3. Turn left, then right onto the gravel for the Mevo Horon climb, the technical one. A short downhill, then a steeper, less technical climb.

From the top it is a fast paved descent on the park road back to Route 3, around the back of Latrun, then the fast gravel path along Route 1 to the bridge where Route 1 meets Route 431 (Nahal Anava). Up Nahal Anava and back to Anava Park.
