Saturday Cycling from Neve Shalom – Into the Heart of Eshtaol Forest

The bright morning greeted me with a crisp, invigorating chill, promising a perfect day for a ride. Just a short drive from home, the sun had already ascended, casting its golden rays over the mountaintops, illuminating the towering pines that lined my path. The beauty of the wooded road was matched only by road cyclists. A group of bikers passed me, when the words: "just a perfect day" from the well-known song of Lou Reed's, played softly from my radio, perfectly capturing the essence of the moment.


As I began my ascent towards Neve Shalom on the winding road, the road seemed to weave through a tapestry of light and shadow, each twist and turn revealing another layer of the nature's enchantment. The sun had already lit up the sky with the thin clouds.

Reaching Neve Shalom. Here, we gathered, exchanging smiles and greetings, ready to embark on the next leg of our journey into the Eshtaol forest.

Riding through the Eshtaol forest was a truly magnificent experience. The air was filled with the scent of pine and damp earth, remnants of recent rain lingering in the form of puddles that dotted the paths. The stillness of the trees was profound, standing tall and silent in the cool air and gentle sunlight, as if guarding the secrets of the forest.

It was as if nature had orchestrated the perfect symphony, with the cool air carrying the faint melodies of birds and the occasional hum of passing cyclists.

The sunlight filtering through the trees created a dance of shadows on the ground, a silent rhythm that accompanied the steady cadence of my pedals.

Every view was a masterpiece, with vistas that stretched far and wide, each one more breathtaking than the last. The forest, with its serene beauty and tranquil atmosphere, felt like a world apart, a haven for those seeking solace in nature.


As our ride drew to a close, we gathered as we always did, sharing a hearty meal. Aromatic coffee brewed by our friend Shahar. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day, a reminder of the simple joys of life: good company, great coffee, and the boundless beauty of the natural world.
