Riding4Reform - Day 4
Total Distance:
48 km
Route: Nazareth-Izrael Valley-Meggido-Ramot Menashe-Cyclamen Hill-Kibbutz Dalia

Top 5 of Day 4 of Riding4Reform:

1. Molly’s second flat tire!

2. While my bike was being fixed I borrowed someone else’s bike, and let’s just say their back break was not as strong as mine, so, that’s when I totally bit it. I have the bruises to prove it… 

3. A little game called “King of the Hill” (see photo above) where basically all the boys played on the hill and tried to see who could get highest. Final score - Jon and David will have to be co-kings.

4. Kibbutz Dalia - the charming kibbutz we stayed at with really nice, spacious cabins! Plus dinner tasted like a yummy home-cooked meal.

5. During the evening we played a little “warm fuzzy” type game since it was the last night. The important thing is that I got some good advertising for the blog out there.
