After the descent from Jerusalem, starting
the trail to Bet Shemesh.

Another still shot.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

My picture taking is improving - I rode alone
but still managed a timed action shot.
|
|
Start of the scenic route.
|
| |

My dashboard.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The stream sounds nice, looks nice, but is
downstream from a water purification plant.
|
|
Same stream.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Again.
|
|
How's that for nice effect?
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Existing the trail and approaching Bet Shemesh.
|
|
No explanation necessary, I turn left.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|

View from Bet Shemesh.
|
|
Finally, my breakfast break.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Continuing south.
|
|
Same bunch.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Approaching Bet Guvrin.
|
|
Turn right.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The same right.
|
|
Bet Guvrin antiquities - note the Sabres fruit.
|
| |

|
|
|
|
|
Before Kiryat Gat, turn and continue southbound.
|
|
Approaching some agricultural developments.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still southbound.
|
|
Finally found a tree to break under - starting
to get REALLY HOT!
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
South bound, approaching Kibbutz Shomria.
|
|
What a difference from the cool ride leaving
Jerusalem.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No, I didn't break my nose - I forgot sunscreen,
and temperature still rising.
|
|
Typical Negev scene - desert!
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
30 km from Beer-Sheva - 37 degrees C. (98
degrees F.) I'm riding less, and breaking more.
|
|
Beer-Sheva, finally!!
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Destination and I'm jumping into the shower!
|
|
And celebrating with a nice dinner - I'm ready
for bed.....
