So I was supposed to go on a third ALC training ride yesterday but apparently all of these early mornings gave me the beginnings of a cold, and since I'm flying to the East coast tomorrow for work schtuff I decided that I'd take the beginning of Shabbat to heart and rest up.
As a result, I was able to get up and do a wonderfully pleasant ride this morning-ish (didn't start until 11 am, which I was totally okay with) through the Valley. Started at home and googlemap-ed my way to the general vicinity of Michelle's house in Chatsworth, mostly to prove that I could bike to her house if I really wanted to. The ride was pretty flat and pretty strightforward, maybe five turns total and all major streets, but it was a longer ride than I'd done recently so it still had merit. Not to mention that I STILL have a headache three hours later (which I'm fairly accustomed to, it happens when I don't properly hydrate. Both Angie and Matt tend to yell at me for this (which is totally legit), to which I generally reply 'but I THOUGHT I was drinking enough?!' And I did. As usual. Lame.) I'm just not used to the heat I think. Excuses excuses. The majority of the pounding throbbing part is gone, so I'll be fine. I just need about another gallon of water =)
totals: 37.08 miles via bike (wahoo!)
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.
