I AM POOPED. But if I don't document now I won't get around to it until three days from now and then I'll feel lame.
In short, I finally managed to plan and execute a 50+ mile ride in the Valley! I used Tyler's house and Michelle's house as my points to get to and then connected the dots - Sherman Oaks to Tujunga to Chatsworth and back to Sherman Oaks. Some significant climbing in the beginning and a nice happy downhill. Multiple water (and consequently urination) stops. Still managed to get myself a headache, lame.
Also, on Friday (04.03.09) I added a bit onto my end-of-day commute home, which brought my total ride-mileage to 19.5. I would have ridden much more this week but I was at security training in Pennsylvania (no I am not kidding). I feel like SOME of that journey has to count as cross-training though, we were punching the stuffin' out of some of those pillows! My pecs hurt for day afterward.
Totals:
04.03.09 - 19.5 miles via bike (4 in the am, the rest in the pm)
04.05.09 - 54.5 miles via bike (avg 14.2 mph, which is really good for me!)
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.
