Time: hrs.
07:30 - After breakfast and registrations, we started off the days biking with a 25km ride through the panorama of the Hermon and North Golan. Passing by apple orchards and colorful Druze villages which most of us I’m sure didn't notice as we tried not to pass out from the steep uphill we had to climb. We then continued south through wooded terrain towards kibbutz Ortal for lunch. From there it was another 25kms of the best part of the day. An amazing ride on dusty tank trails with downhill slope facing a lovely panoramic sunset as we entered into Katzrin.
DAY - 2 (14/10/06)
Starting point: Katzrin (קצרין)
End point: Luna Gal (לונה גל)
Length: 50Kms.
Time: hrs.
06:30 - We started the day with a gentle ascent eastward crossing Nahal Zavitan on a dirt road passing fields of Irises. We then stopped at the TAPS pipeline for breakfast. After a brief break we continued South on a downhill trail crossing most of the streams of Central Golan most of which were shallow. We rode next to large water reservoirs in the area and finished the day with a steep and exhilarating downhill ride along the Western slopes of the Golan facing a panoramic view of the Galil, Kinneret and Jordan valley arriving at the Luna Gal for lunch and a dip in the pool.
Enjoy the pics!
