		<title>fear of carbon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some reason, despite a major need for one of those old carbon Proflex/K2 bikes, I have always had a fear of all things carbon. Well founded fear or completely irrational?Probably the latter and as such I recently had been starting to be swayed towards its pretty looks. Some nice Ritchey parts (seat post and [...]]]></description>

		<title>10 Hour Results&#8230; and the winner is&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;d like to think everyone was a winner on the day. I certainly had a great time and I went nowhere near riding my bike after lending out my front skewer to a rider on the first lap. For the first time in recent history, Mr Bribe, Karel Valenta was pushed early on in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Conflicted weight weenie?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so I&#8217;m mixed up (ask my GP who prescribes my medication) but right at the moment I find myself in a very odd place. Half way between &#8220;weight weenie&#8221; and &#8220;steel-framed, high-mass luddite&#8221;. You see&#8230; Waaaay back in the day I first began singlespeeding because I viewed it as a simple way to dump [...]]]></description>

		<title>Outside the box</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week the reality of what I do on a day to day basis filled up my living room. 10 boxes of 2011 year samples fresh off the plane from Taiwan. All new 10 speed drive-trains from Shimano, wheels from Easton, and DTSwiss and more stuff than I can poke a large stick at. And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Glenrock Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while back I posted about NPWS getting trail access right in Glenrock with respect to allowing Volunteer Trail days to occur (Glenrock Volunteer Trail Works) on the XC trails in the park. Well some time has passed, so I thought now might be a good time to look back at the last few months [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back on the Bike</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No real point to this post, not even any form of preaching or anger. Possibly getting soft as time goes by, sorry it won&#8217;t happen again. No, I thought I would post about possibly the best ride I have had in a long, long time. Think of this as the ramblings of a bike deprived [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canberra Tweed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back at the MONT 24 hour race, I decided to be silly and bring along a costume I had worn for a friend&#8217;s 40th birthday with a 1940&#8242;s theme comprising brown herringbone trousers, suspenders, brown shoes, a white shirt, maroon tie and tweed jacket.  Just for the lark of being stupid (as opposed to fast) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bike Doc App</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I told myself a little while back that I was going to only try and post meaningful discourse (to me in anyway) or entertaining/inspirational things. Prolly will last about a month and then I’ll start throwing up random shite again. I stumbled on this this morning doing the rounds. As per my post about iPod [...]]]></description>
