No, I'm not kidding. Heading over June 28th for two weeks. I'll be in the Tel Aviv area, mostly.
I'll be in Eilat July 4th-6th, probably be heading north towards the Galilee sometime during the
trip too. If anybody has any information about rides, let me know. /s

We were supposed to play rugby against Israel last year when there were daily bombings and
shootings. To safeguard us, they were going to fly us in to a military base, give us an armed escort
to a ring-fenced ground with armed protection and no spectators and then fly us out again after the
game. We declined, and Israel came and played in Luxembourg instead.

As an Israeli resident, I can assure you that taking some simple precautions will make your trip
safe and fun here. For example, rule no 1: Never take a bus- take a taxi! Thers lots of great trails
and bike trips here. Amasing moonlight and desert canyon trips. I can email you some videos, photos
and maps of trips Ive allready made if you would like. Mostly day trips (4-6 hours), some downhills,
desert day or night. I can allsow recomend good books but I dout if theve got an english version. As
sugested by others, a camelback or any other hydration system is a must! Also sunscreen. So have a
good time here and email me for any information you need.

Toda raba Haim! I rented a car last time and expect to do the same. Where are you? Where's most of
the riding you do? Like I wrote, I'm going to span a fair part of the country, so if we could meet
up somewhere for a ride that would be great.

I'm hoping you're gonna tell Sharon to go for peace instead of keeping provoking for more violence
while youre there.

Sounds like a good time. As long as you're not a palistinian. Steve <[email protected]> wrote in

Eesh! I gotta say, that doesn't sound terribly pleasant. I can imagine the sounds of a scrummer's
ear being torn off in an big empty stadium would be rather sobering. Is the Israeli team any good?
Most of the people I see tend towards the smaller, Mediterranean set, but I'm sure there are some
big Russians there lurking around too. /s /s

What can I say. I hope you have a good ride I'm just a "little" ****** theese days seeing Bush claim
he's doing something for peace when it's little more than gestures. So while I know this is OT it's
not something that I will not comment on.

From what I understand here in EU the news coverage in the US, at least from what I can pick up on
CNN, is very biased towards making Palenstine s that are fighting to have their land look like pure
evil and the Israeli soldiers using gunships and tanks on stone throwers like pure heroes.

I don't think there is such a thing as black or white in the conflict, but I'm pretty sure people
only become suicide bombers if the feel sure they have no future and that their sacrifice may help
thoose that are left behind.

Israel is litteraly importing people, from russia mostly, to live and establish settelments and I
find it very ironic that they call the palestines terrorists when thinking about how they
established Israel in the first place - back then they were the onces using terror tactics.

Very ballsy I must say.

There's a road map out there. I think it WAS called "The Road Map To Peace"

Stay safe, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the
mind should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

I live in Haifa and work in Tel Aviv. My riding buddies and I go on day trips once in 4-5
weeks. There is a good chance we'll be ridding one at the time you will be here, probably to
the north- Jordan river sources perhaps. We'll be glad if you join us. I'll email you with some
details and photos.

Not really. They got relegated from our division last year - they now play in Europe Division 3 Pool

Yeah, there were a couple of Russians in the side we played. One of them thought he'd take some of
us on at drinking vodka - he ended up passed out between a couple of parked cars by 10pm :)

Incidentally, we're playing in a tournament with them this weekend:
