This morning's ride was full of interactions with people, which is weird for me - usually when I'm biking people tend to leave me alone.
I was planning on leaving the house around 8 am and doing a three hour-ish ride before heading to a meeting I had in Malibu, but I woke up feeling awkwardly nauseous and had to sit around for an hour and a half and drink tea and eat toast before I felt like I could actually GO anywhere. I ended up heading toward Griffith Park. About 5 miles in, I was passed by an old guy who then proceeded to bike JUST a little slower than my pace. I stayed behind him 'cause I didn't want to leapfrog all the way to G.Park, and eventually we started talking. He's 72, his name is Richard, and he's really nice! He gave me the card for a bike shop he frequents and he showed me a new bike path that I swear I've passed fourteen times and never even noticed! He was meeting up with some friends of his so we split ways. On my way home I got stopped by a dude in a car who was looking for some store (and hadn't gotten te address before leaving his house? Weirdo.) Anyway. Lots of interactions.
Total: 24.5 miles via bike
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.
