Yesterday was the perfect day.
Woke up at 5:30 AM, stuffed my bike into the backseat of my GTI, drove to West Hollywood, biked Nichols Canyon (Creek? You never know here) with an ALC training group, came home and showered, dealt with work email...basically the day continues in pleasant fashion. The point is that a 11-mile bike ride up and hill and back down it was a WONDERFUL start to my day. I think I'm going to make this one of my every-week rides.
Today I did much the same thing except I'd left my bike in the car from the day before so there was no stuffage needed and I drove to Los Feliz instead of West Hollywood and biked Griffith Park instead of Nichols Canyon/Creek.
Biking really will save my soul.
03.25.09: 11 miles biked
today: 12.5 miles biked
...and while these may sound like piddly little numbers mileage-wise, there was SIGNIFICANT more-than-two-miles-of-climbing intergrated into each ride. So there.
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.
