		<title>Penny for My Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m often asked what I think about on these endurance rides.  So I thought while I was out on a short recon for a couple of hours today I thought it’d be good to give a peek inside my mental factory. 
In the best I can recall what went through my head today:
-AJ

		<title>&#8220;From the Producers of “Race Across The Sky”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This came into my email box this weekend.  Mallory from Citizen Pictures asked that I send it to my list of entrants that I keep, but I&#8217;ve promised to use that for nothing more than research and networking other racers, so I&#8217;m posting it here instead.  Sounds interesting.  Get in touch with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Landis, Doping, Cycling &amp; Why You Should Applaud Him</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Warning!  I&#8217;m about to grab the third rail of the cycling world.  My opinions and my opinions only follow.  I have no basis beyond my own feelings to give the following commentary.  And I&#8217;ll welcome all civil feedback.  Ride on!
As if I really had a snowball&#8217;s chance in hell of [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is going on here?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw this today after my ride. Noticed a CrankBrothers logo on the hood and &#8220;troupe&#8221; on the side. I love Laguna. Last week I met an artist that, in so many words, admitted to having sex with aliens. Uncertain if it was a group thing or not. Anyway&#8230;

		<title>Leadville 100 MTB 2010 Entrants Training Map</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just an update on the map and data I&#8217;ve collected so far.  You can find the map of 2010 Leadville 100 MTB Race entrants here. A couple of notes.  First, I&#8217;ve grouped points on the map in red and blue.  Red means you made the lottery.  Blue means you didn&#8217;t.  I appreciate the data from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did You Make It Into Leadville?  Read On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As some of you know I did a lot of analysis of previous year's data (that I
could find) from Leadville 100 MTB races. I've been looking for some new fun
stuff to try in my efforts, so I thought I'd do a couple of things.

First, I've set up a simple Google Form to allow anyone that [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Open Letter to the City of Los Angeles Regarding Mountain Bicyclists &amp; Trail Use</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sent via email to:
Mr Jordann Turner
jordann.turner@lacity.org
Mr Turner,
I&#8217;m writing to voice my concerns regarding the City of Los Angeles&#8217;  inclusion of a very large contingency of active mountain bicyclists in and around the Los Angeles metropolitan area.  As a mountain bicyclist for over 15 years I feel very qualified to state that in my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hardtail Stays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What can I say?  When all else fails head to the Apple Apps Store and get yourself a cool, if basic, T-Chart app and lay out the pros and cons of your dilema. Hardtail stays home and the Ellsworth Evolve comes to Leadville. All set. See you at 9,600&#8243;.

		<title>Heading East to Leadville</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thursday at 5:30AM marks the official beginning of the trek east to Leadville.  I&#8217;m excited but have some real questions on my mind when it comes to bike choice.  As a GT Dirt Coalition rider I have a company-provided GT Zaskar that&#8217;s just kick ass.  It&#8217;s light, handles like it&#8217;s on a rail and has [...]]]></description>
