THE RIDE
Out and back from Modi'in to the Scroll of Fire monument above Eshtaol.
Start at the Ishpro Center in Modi'in, with plenty of parking. You can also start at Caffit in Anava Park, or at Latrun to cut the route shorter.
The climb from Eshtaol up to Ramat Raziel is 6.8 km at 6.4%, with ramps up to 15% - the steepest of the three roads up to Jerusalem. Nothing technical besides the climb. The same 6.8 km back down is the reward.
