We’re here at samarathon_mtb_race In southern Israel, but yesterday we rode part of the #israelbiketrail - an ambitious project that’ll eventually run the length from north to south.
.
The southern middle part of Israel is called Negev. It’s mostly desert and home to three natural “craters”.
.
Mitzpe Ramon is the town that overlooks the Ramon Crater, the biggest of the three. Technically, they’re really valleys, as there is an exit on one end where the (usually dry) river can drain, but they do look somewhat crater-y.
.
Running alongside the crater is part of the Israel Bike Trail, which will eventually be 1,000km or more, much of it proper singletrack. Around Timna Park, there are already 100s of kilometers of trail, making it a great winter riding spot. And you never know what you might see while you’re riding it!
