THE RIDE
Two rides in one around Jerusalem.
Start and finish at the First Station (the old train station) in Jerusalem. Paid parking lot. Most people ride a mountain bike. A gravel bike is perfect.
The first loop is about 90% paved, very easy and beginner-friendly. The second loop is the off-road gravel extension, out and back, with a fast gravel downhill.
A short section is officially one-way in the other direction, because parts of the event route cannot be ridden year-round. Ride a slightly different route there, or skip that part.
