Well. Today was supposed to be my try-out-a-route-in-my-1992-"Touring the Los Angeles Area by Bicycle"-book-day, and try I did. Unfortunately, I missed a turn somewhere 15ish miles in and ended up coming back via a totally different route...which was actually okay because the route went straight up and down mountains. That's maybe a bit of an exaggeration but truly, there were some HUGE, LONG, WINDY ups. My body is legit tired and it wasn't even that long of a ride! Great reminder that I need to start doing this more regularly though.
Also, I was graced by the sight of roadkill skunks not once but twice. Yum. And by yum I mean gross.
Total movement: 26.37 miles via bike (Coldwater to Sunset to Sepulveda, basically)
About Me
- justdusty.rakm'ubak
- Born and raised in Seattle, Washington where I learned to love tea and rain and evergreen trees. Found a love for Judaism in NFTY after a slight push from Rabbi Michael Latz, set my sights on becoming a rabbi at age 16 and have been moving toward that goal ever since. Moved to sunny southern California for college and graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2008 with a BA in Religious Studies. During my undergraduate years, I fell in love with cycling, spent a year in Dublin Ireland (and worked as a Starbucks barista!) and wrote my undergraduate thesis on JUBUs (Jewish Buddhists). After college I had the privilege of serving NFTY SOCAL's phenomenal teens as their regional advisor for two years before enrolling at Hebrew Union College's School of Rabbinic Studies.
