Hundreds of motorcyclists plan on celebrating Israel’s 60th anniversary this spring by riding across the Holy Land, traveling to Eilat in the south from Metula in the north. The cross-country trek is the brainchild of the Israeli motorbike federation, which invited riders from sister federations in the United States, Canada and Australia. Some 700 bikers are expected to participate.
