		<title>Pay for Warmth with Wind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Garmin Data: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/145794693
As the saying goes &#8212; You don&#8217;t get anything for free! That was true with my ride today. You rarely get a warm day in January without wind. Last weekend was one of those rare exceptions and it would have been really amazing if we were treated to the same conditions today.
No such [...]]]></description>

		<title>Around and around, 388 times!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was invited to ride with the Blue Sky Velo club at the velodrome this morning. I contacted the club a week or so ago asking about joining so and trying my hand at racing this year. The president emailed me and put me in touch with one of the members who is coordinating &#8220;The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Calm before the Storm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One look at the wind forecast and I knew Pogo and I would be heading out today &#8212; no matter how cold it was. Today&#8217;s winds would be 5-10 mph and tomorrow there would be steady winds up over 35 mph. Luckily, today  was warmer than an average January day. I bet it was easily in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back outside with everyone else!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s decision was much esasir than yesterdays. The temperatures were still mild but the pesky wind did not make an apperance while we fed the horses this morning. I started getting ready a little after 10:30am and was on the road by 11:00am. I headed north, as I most often do, but my route this [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the fence &#8211; took Velodrome option</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hate days like today when trying to decide what kind of training ride to do.
The temperatures say one thing and the wind (and fore-casted winds) lead to a different answer. When we got up to feed the horses (we care for about 40 of them&#8230;) I dressed for winter. I had on my &#8220;Elmer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just beat the snow home!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A day like today makes me really appreciate a sunny day in Colorado. I was going to ride come hell or high water&#8230;.or gray skies and snow! The website I rely on to tell me how things look as far as temperature and wind speed &#38; direction told me to ride before 2 pm. Although [...]]]></description>

		<title>When wind howls&#8230;move indoors!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, it wasn&#8217;t THAT windy today &#8212; but it will be tomorrow! So you could say that when I rode at the velodrome today I was just practicing for tomorrow.
Actually, it was far from calm today and I had a special reason for saving up my energy. I signed up for a 2-hour &#8220;Race Certification&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is it Fall or is it Winter?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brrrr. I really don&#8217;t think the mercury made it out of the 30s today. If it did, it was not by much. My original plan was to head out mid-morning, say 10:00am. I figured by then that the morning chill would have burned off. I was wrong. I waited until 1:00pm and then decided it [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Sad Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sid and I had both ridden our bicyles in this particular Tuesday. I was on my &#8220;return trip&#8221; from riding home the previous night. Sid was commuting both ways &#8211; his plan was to leave early, as it was his birthday,  and celebrate it with his family. We ran into each other in the hallway [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kurt Takes on &#8220;The Wall&#8221; &#8212; and WINS!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Garmin Data (Kurt&#8217;s) http://connect.garmin.com/activity/115961456
Fall is a perfect time to ride in Colorado. No more sweltering heat, no bugs and, for the most part, fewer late afternoon thunderstorms. It was almost a little on the chilly side this afternoon when my co-worker from the Chicago area, Kurt, and I headed out to ride the Morgul-Bismarck route.
