THE RIDE
The red, green and blue singles, together or one at a time.
All technical singles through Nahal Anava, the Horbat Regev climbs, Horbat Zechariah and the Nahal Gimzo descent in the Ben Shemen forest, and back to the parking lot.
You don't have to do all three singles at once. Ride just the red, just the blue or just the green, or combine two - the blue and the green together make a great shorter ride.
The green single, the blue single and the full loop start at the Mitzpe Modiin parking lot. The red single starts near Patei, in south Modi'in.
Best time to see the red anemones (kalanit, כלנית), Israel's national flower: February to March, after a few dry days.
