		<title>Team Ride To Work and Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Michael, Joachim, and I did a team ride to work yesterday.  It was a challenge as Michael and Joachim had not ridden their bicycles in a long time. In fact, they did not even have bicycles!  We loaned my old bike and Cam&#8217;s old bike and outfitted them with full bike clothing regalia. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ride around Lake Washington and the Locks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was equivalent to Day 1 of Courage Classic with slightly higher elevation gain. I felt good, but it rained on me the entire way.  I bought a veritable &#8220;ton&#8221; of fruits at the Vietnamese market and carried it all the way home on my back. It felt fine. I had an entire basket [...]]]></description>
