		<title>The Unwinter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This week I finally conceded defeat to spring, put away my XC skis,  and swapped the studded tire and snow boot friendly BMX pedals on my &#8216;cross bike for SPDs and mud tires (the skis got used twice, the ice tire once).  It was actually a fairly good winter for regular street riding, [...]]]></description>

		<title>new year ride</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it wasn&#8217;t quite new year&#8217;s.  The winter up til then was cold, but not doing anything else interesting enough to draw me outside during my period of circumsolstitial sloth until we finally got a bit of snow here in the city. So on Sunday the 3rd I ventured forth and rode out to [...]]]></description>

		<title>tried and liked 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A roundup of  bike things I tried and liked in 2009 &#8211; an annual new year&#8217;s tradition on the iBOB bike list:
Cyclocross brake levers &#8211; they&#8217;re great for using drop bars offroad, since I want to keep my bars set up for road riding, not high and close for &#8216;cross.  They&#8217;re great for riding [...]]]></description>

		<title>tractor parade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thursday was the Rockwood Farmers&#8217; Parade,  way out west in Rockwood, Ontario.    It&#8217;s the best parade around &#8211; you park in a cornfield, there&#8217;s a tent selling hot chocolate, and you watch the tractors go by covered with lights.

It was even colder than it looks.

		<title>Urban Assault</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seen outside Canadian Tire when I was there yesterday.  I wonder if it&#8217;s functional.  Nicely done with the sight and muzzle brake.

I finally got my country road bike out on some real country roads, and picked up a bit of real country mud.  Ride report to follow, eventually, maybe.

		<title>Happy Halloween!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Happy Halloween! Only about 20 of the lazy ass local kids bothered to climb my front stairs this year&#8230;  well those 20 weren&#8217;t the lazy ones but I&#8217;m still saddled with a surplus of junk food.  I&#8217;ve noticed a disturbing trend in costumes over the last couple of years of fewer girl pirates [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beach ride</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last sunday at the cormorant beach (it used to be the heron beach before the pesky cormorants invaded it and killed all the trees).  I don&#8217;t usually ride on sand on any bike I care about, but I reckoned it was OK just this once.
