Israeli Cowboys in America

March 31, 2008

“We plan to take it easy,” said Uri Peleg, a Golan Heights rancher and the trip’s organizer. “All of us are highly-skilled riders, and we could have done a much rougher trek. But we plan to ride about 19 miles (30.5 kilometers) a day and enjoy the scenery.” The ride’s main objective is to mark Israel’s 60th anniversary, which is why six riders will be taking part in the expedition. “We want to show the Americans the beautiful side of nature-loving Israel, which also has cowboys and adventurers.”
