		<description><![CDATA[First the good news. I didn’t just complete the Triple Bypass. I all but breezed through it. I spent under 8 ½ hours on the bike and completed the ride, including stops, in just over 10 ½ hours. Average speed was 14 miles per hour. Not so much impressive in and of itself, rather the [...]]]></description>

The Triple Bypass isn&#8217;t a race, but it is a serious ride. Only a two of the 2009 Tour de [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Organized rides are the way to go. Especially the MS 150. I probably gained about a pound and a half at the two catered lunches, breakfast, dinner and the dozen or so aid stations stocked with cookies, fruit, sports drinks, sno-cones, all served by hundreds and hundreds of friendly volunteers. All this training paid off [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some things are beyond your control. Like your genetics. While I can acclimatize with time, I am sensitive to altitude and prone to altitude sickness. That&#8217;s unfortunate when your favorite places are mountains. It&#8217;s downright annoying when you train like crazy for half the year to ride some ridiculous bike ride, show actual improvements in [...]]]></description>

I complained about weather getting in the way last time, and, well, I could do that again today, except  I don&#8217;t want to complain about the weather. I like weather. I like rain and snow along with cool summer days with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not my fault. The weather won&#8217;t cooperate with cycling. I had already decided that I can&#8217;t avoid the wind since organized rides are hardly cancelled for such minor inconveniences, but blizzards are another annoyance entirely. So while I was ahead of my &#8216;training schedule,&#8217; last week&#8217;s snow put me way behind. [It's no oversight [...]]]></description>

Last week’s ride was mostly flat, and we practiced our pace-line riding, yielding an average speed of 16.9 mph (27 kmh) without breaking much of [...]]]></description>

Tuesday: more trainer time.
Wednesday: commute to work. My toes were numb. Later, I bought “CalienToes”. Has to be the best product name ever.
Thursday: In order to avoid the cold toes, I rode during lunch instead. A flat 15 mile loop and at a pretty good pace. I thought I was ready for the [...]]]></description>
