On the 22.01.2013 an Swiss bicycle guy Allex came to the Old Jaffa Hostel and we started to talk on the roof. He explained that he was invited to visit a family at a city close to Jerusalem. We talk some more and found out that the city was called Mevasseret Zion close to Jerusalem. I asked him, as a kind of a joke if the famaly were called Rockman. He answered YES. The only family I know in the city and that is the family he is going to visit. What a small world we are living in. We agreed that the next day I would take him there.

We got up around 07;00 ( I was actually up at 04;00) and around 07;45 we left the Hostel on road #44 out of Tel Aviv. Not really a nice road but an easy one to get out of Tel Aviv on. We went to Ramla and stopped for breakfast and coffee that turned into a few. We stopped at the Shouk and bought some batteries for my GPS and camara. We continued and lost the road just outside the city but got on a sideroad for tractors. We went along the Railway for some time and found a tunnel under the Highway and got on the road #424 on the other side. We continued on this road until road #3 at the Latrun Monastery, right. We went south for finding the new Tel Aviv- Jerusalem bike Trail. at Boquk the trail is market with a cirkel and a bicycle with different colors combination for the trail. We bicycle on the amazing trail through some of the must beautiful landscape in the area and past an rest area with an bedouin tent where we went in to get a cup of the. We just left again when a hole school bus came with israeli kids but really a nice place. We continued on the trail to road #38 were we disided to leave the trail and continue on road # 394 for getting there faster. We went on this road that I have never been on before and it just went uphill and uphill and uphill and uphill like it would never stop, it was really beautifull and narrow, with a cliff at the side straight down and two cars have a hard time to pass. we arrieve to Mevasseret Zion just when it started to get dark and went to visit the family Rockman. He, Chaim was quite surprised to see me, because I didnt tell him that I were coming. We were invited for something to eat and we talked. I left again around 20;00 and took the bus back to Tel Aviv. Only NIS 18 and the bicycle was free. Really nice, I canwarmly recommant the new Tel Aviv - Jerusalem Bike Trail. Tov Meot.
