		<title>Hell Week, Day One: No Edge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hit my long ride home last night.  Not the standard long ride, but the hellishly hilly (at least for Kansas) long ride.  It&#8217;s the last map there on my routes page, and is also up on mapmyride.com.
Unfortunately, in the chaos that yet remains my Monday morning routine, I left my Edge 705 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prep Week for the TBP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a long weekend involving lots and lots of fun with the rest of my team in Omaha, NE, and some far less fun work unclogging and replacing the downstairs toilet, I&#8217;m back and ready to really kick it up a notch this week.
Over on my commute routes page, I&#8217;ve laid out the route I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another for the Annals of Commuter Racing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been well documented that whenever two or more commuters meet on the road, it is necessary that they race.	It&#8217;s unspoken, and rarely even acknowledged, but accepted without question.
I hear that runners have the same rules.
This morning was supposed to be a relaxing ride in.  It was supposed to see me arrive at work [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Race for Honor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, our hero finds himself racing against manicured lawns everywhere.  Turning east on 91st, he notices what appears to be a street cleaner in the distance.  He up shifts and increases his tempo just a bit to try and catch up.  Unfortunately, stop signs and passing traffic keep him at a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deep Pockets Dig Deep</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a stunning upset last night, Deep Pockets, formerly in 6th place out of 10, defeats the 1st place team 8-Ball Junk-eez 3 and a half rounds to 1 and a half rounds.  When asked how she felt about the outcome, one team member replied simply &#8220;Hell YEAH!!!&#8221;  It is uncertain how last [...]]]></description>

		<title>Switching Bikes Due to Weather, Pinched Nerves and Freeweights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I woke up a little late this morning.  I drove in yesterday to drop the car off and bring clothes in for the week, and since driving in affords me a little more sleep, I gave it to myself.  Unfortunately, I forgot to reclaim it this morning, and so I slept late.
Not that [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Logistical Bike Commute Changes and a Busy Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m a fan of making extra trips to work in order to carry clothes back and forth, thus enabling me to ride an otherwise non-commute-ready bike.
This week I&#8217;m going to try driving in on Monday, and driving home on Thursday.  Why Thursday, I hear you asking&#8230; because on Friday, we&#8217;ll be [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Garage Peddling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend marks the second weekend in a row we&#8217;ve held a garage sale.  I&#8217;m going to count it as a nearly complete success.  Most of the large items we wanted to peddle away have been, and those that remain will very likely go on Craig&#8217;s List or eBay without too much trouble. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Ride in the Dark</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friday night I participated in my first June Moon ride.  It was fantastic.  I met Noah (who has some great, as always, pics from the ride up on his site) and Chris at their apartment complex, from where we made our way down to the Wendy&#8217;s parking lot at K10 and Woodland.
There were [...]]]></description>

		<title>June Moon Madness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I join the ranks of the June Full Moon Madness riders.  We&#8217;re meeting up at Wendy&#8217;s on K10 at 21:00, where we&#8217;ll start our meandering out to DeSoto and back.  All in all, from my house, it&#8217;ll total a bit over 51 miles, and should go until sometime around 12:30 or 01:00 [...]]]></description>

		<title>For Sale: 1990 Giant Perigee An Old Friend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s official.  I&#8217;ve taken pictures, and have offered the Giant up for sale.  I&#8217;m not asking much, probably way too little in fact, but in resisting the urge to be a pack rat, and in the spirit of recent events, it&#8217;s time to clean house, even of those things near and dear to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Garmin Sponsors Tour de France Team</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Story.
This is special because I have not one, but two entire friends at Garmin, both of whom know me by both name and sight.  Of course that means I&#8217;m all but on the team.  I&#8217;ll be waiting for Millar&#8217;s call.
I&#8217;m sure the try-out ride is just perfunctory.  See you in France!

		<title>A Quick Sprint to Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In spite of brief showers last night that left the roads a touch damp in places, I enjoyed this morning&#8217;s commute on the slim tires of the Torelli.
The Good:  There were a few bike commuters out today.  Still fewer than I&#8217;d expect with the higher temperatures and higher gas prices.  All of [...]]]></description>

		<title>House Passes Bike Commuting Fringe Benefit Bill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just what the title says.  If I understand it correctly, it&#8217;s just like flex dollars applied towards health benefits, but applied towards bike commuting expenses.  Furthermore, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a mandatory program.
Anyone care to clarify?
On a related note, I wrote an e&#8217;mail to my insurance agent months ago to ask if there [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Being Elitist in the Chilly Morning Air</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While the debate rages on and moves to topics unrelated to road rage (as one would fully expect), and while Noah asks similar questions regarding attire, I consider my own morning.
The air was definitely chilly at &#60;60&#176;F.  It&#8217;s amazing how quickly we adapt, isn&#8217;t it?  Three months ago, 60&#176;F was a delight.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Private Sanctum in a Public Space</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In seeking possible causes and correlations relating to road rage, Psychologist William Szlemko and his colleagues at Colorado State University in Fort Collins made some interesting findings.  They believe that more evidence of personalization, the more inclined the individual is to exhibit signs of territorial behavior&#8230; one method being to engage in road rage.
Szlemko [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mileage Goal&#8230; Halfway There.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, and another thing&#8230;
I hit 2,528 miles this weekend.  That&#8217;s over halfway to my 5,000 mile goal for the year.
Other interesting things from my bikejournal.com&#8230; er&#8230; journal:
This month I&#8217;ve spent 25 hours, 10 minutes and 32 seconds in the saddle.
I&#8217;ve spent 177 hours, 27 minutes and 23 seconds in the saddle all year.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Road Rage Incident in Longview</title>

An incident occurred on June 4th that has had the cycling community in KC up in arms.  I&#8217;ve not mentioned it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend Recap - All Miles, Booze and Crap for Sale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d love to say this weekend was relaxing, but I seem to be having a hard time finding anything relaxing at the moment.  I won&#8217;t go through the laundry list of things on my mind (including - but certainly not limited to - laundry), but it&#8217;s a pretty hefty load.  It&#8217;s really quite [...]]]></description>
