I can't focus on anything right now, the SB fire is just making me restless - and I'm not even THERE! I just...Binky (well, her dad, but her HOUSE so she's there helping out) and Kristen and probably Rick and all of my CBB kids and NFTY kids have been evacuated and I want to help but there's nothing I can do and it just makes me feel helpless =(
...but, that's not the reason I'm posting. I'm posting because I finally managed another significantly lengthy ride. I basically did the Victory to Topanga to the water and back over Sepulveda ride, but I made some slight route changes (they didn't really do much to the mileage, but they did loads for my sanity) - for one, I stayed on the Orange Line bike path and so I cut out some of the street-riding on Victory, which was nice. I also stayed on PCH until I got to the Santa Monica pier and then I took Santa Monica Blvd to Sepulveda, which cut out Sunset (godsend, Sunset is a BITCH - full of cars and potholes and hills and just generally unpleasant). Also, while I was on PCH I saw dolphins! My first LA dolphins, I haven't seen any here yet. They were really close to the beach too, I was kind of surprised.
Right. I also biked to work on Wednesday and forgot to mention it on here.
totals:
05.06.09 - 8.3 miles via bike, reg. work commute
05.08.09 - 52.0 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.
