		<title>Got a cross bike for training&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I just saw a pig fly by&#8230;or was that just hell freezing over?  What&#8217;s this? A road bike? No way&#8230;  

And no way is right..it&#8217;s not a road bike. I picked up a 2007 Schwinn Fastback CX on closeout from Performance last week.  It&#8217;s a cyclocross bike which means I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saving for Big Mama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So Salsa is going to release a new 29er called the Big Mama in September that looks perfect for endurance racing.

MSRP for the frame is supposed to be between $1400 and $1500. Figuring that I get a small discount from one of the local shops, it&#8217;s still a good number of pennies.
So to raise money, [...]]]></description>

		<title>2008 12 Hours of Temecula #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I subjected myself to another day of hot weather racing at the 12 Hours of Temecula @ Vail Lake this past weekend. This was also an opportunity to camp out with some friends that were racing as well. That always makes for fun times.

I was so afraid of cramping, that I think I may have [...]]]></description>

		<title>2008 Weight Loss Resolution Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wonder how many of us still remember the resolutions we made for 2008. And I wonder how many are still sticking to them.
One of my goals was to get down to 170 lbs.  I was 178 lbs at the time.
While I haven&#8217;t hit 170 yet, I&#8217;ve been hovering consistently around 172.  The [...]]]></description>

		<title>2008 The Traverse - Warrior&#8217;s Society</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shortly coming off my completion of the Counting Coup, I decided to give The Traverse a try, which is a mountain bike race that consists of 46 miles and 8000+ feet of elevation gain across the Santa Ana mountains.  
I heard it was supposed to be a little tougher compared to the Counting Coup. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mountain Bike Log - March 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another month has come and gone.  Is it just me or is 2008 going by super fast?

		<title>My First Counting Coup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last October, I signed up for the 2008 Warrior&#8217;s Society Counting Coup.  It&#8217;s a 44 mile mountain bike race with a bit over 8000 feet of elevation gain.
So after a a few months of limited training due to fires, forest closures and above average rainfall, March 1st came faster than I would have liked.
