		<description><![CDATA[	This post got thoroughly messed up. 
	It was going to be about a healthy sense of zen detachment from a goal.&#160; Ok. Maybe not &#8220;healthy&#8221;, but at least self-aware.
	It&#8217;s about the curse of the need for round number amidst capricious standards of measure.&#160; Yeah.&#160; I know. Exciting stuff. But, hey, I&#8217;ve watched a documentary about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Yesterday, the sun set later.&#160; At 5:15, the sky lit up from a hazy pink to a glorious rose red flame. As if it knew that the days were a bit longer. &#160;I felt a primal feeling of excitement, as I hadn&#8217;t been out precisely at sunset for a week, since the solstice. My old [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Capped off a fine birthday week by joining about a 100 new and old
randonneurs on the 2013 SF Randonneurs Fall Populaire.&#160; Starting in San
Fransisco&#8217;s Crissy Field, we headed north over the Golden Gate Bridge,
hopped over a hill or two and looped out around China Camp Village
before heading westward (back into a mild headwind and increasing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	
	StreetFilms continues its Streetfacts  series by looking at the data
on driving in the U.S. Beginning in 2005,  per-capita driving has
declined every year. As curious as that may strike you, data suggests it is now an  8-year trend.
	These are all good things, as more folks realize that walkable, rideable, &#8220;human-sized&#8221; environments are the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;m rewriting this a day later.&#160; Mostly, because I really don&#8217;t want it to sound like a rant. The simple truth is that etiquette is a slippery topic in this world today, and it tends to slide like a frozen salmon off to the side of things. 
	The problem is that etiquette itself can be [...]]]></description>

	That worked ok, y&#8217;know?&#160; One of those spur-o-the-moment thoughts that I just had to honor.&#160; Ride every day in February.&#160; No mileage goal. Just the promise of putting the butt on the saddle every day - even if it was 11:45 pm and I twiddled around the block.&#160; Lots of specific, internal reasons for that, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Just one of those stupid spur of the moment ideas. One of those choices of chance designed to spur not a specific outcome but a change of habit. Maybe a change of base assumptions or a re-approach to a way of working.&#160; You have to trust impulses now and again.&#160; Give into chance and honor [...]]]></description>
