		<title>As seen in forest and supermarket</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A week ago I went for a hike on trails that are nearby our house.  When I say nearby, I mean that they&#8217;re behind the houses that are across the road from us.
I hadn&#8217;t had a chance to explore these trails much the last time I was on them, but I had time to go [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twelve Months Bid Goodbye</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once again I attended a concert by They Might Be Giants.  Like the previous 2 I went to, this one took place in the Calvin Theater in Northampton.  Unlike any other TMBG show I&#8217;ve been to, this one was on New Year&#8217;s Eve.
I took pictures using both my regular camera and my iPhone, so the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cutting at Both Ends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On October 4, a couple of ribbon-cutting events were held (along with some other festivities) to mark the completion of new sections of bike trail in Northampton.Â  I was there, and my report follows.
The first ceremony was held at the bike bridge over Main St. downtown.Â  It drew a pretty good-sized crowd:


It was originally thought [...]]]></description>

		<title>50 over 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, as you know if you were reading my last few posts, I had a fun and successful ride in the Berkshires yesterday.Â  It was pointed out to me that my live posts from the ride seemed to have the wrong times on them.Â  Sure enough, I checked the time zone setting on my blog [...]]]></description>

		<title>All done!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Woo hoo!  I&#8217;m at the finish.  Got here at about 1:53.  That&#8217;s at least an hour shorter than last time.  Bring in better shape and more practiced at riding definitely made a difference, as did, to a lesser degree, riding a hybrid bike rather than a mountain bike.
Coming in to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting there</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back in West Stockbridge.  The route North through here doesn&#8217;t have a rest stop, but I pulled over anyway (there was a lot of hill climbing after the last stop).  Some river pix are below (I think it&#8217;s the Housatonic).  Got about 10 miles to go.

		<title>Stopped again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m at the second rest stop now, close to 32 miles into the ride.  This is going a bit quicker than I thought it would, as I got here before noon.  It&#8217;s certainly a lot quicker than last time (and at that time I missed this stop).  Below are pix of sights [...]]]></description>

		<title>First third!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;m at the first rest stop, about one third of the way done.  It took me 1 hour and 10 minutes to get here, which included a 5-minute stop to rest and take pics.  Below are pictures of the start of the race, a mountain view along route 41 in Richmond, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the beginning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m at Bousquet ski area, the starting and ending point for the MS ride.  They have free wi-fi here, so I have a pretty fast connection.  Those of us riding 50 miles begin in abot 25 minutes.  Just having a bit of food before I get ready to set out.  It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Testing the app</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I have an iPhone that I got as a hand-me-down earlier this year.  I&#8217;m writing this post on the phone, using the Wordpress app.  If this works well, I&#8217;ll be able to do some better liveblogging of my ride this Saturday than I was able to do last year. 
If you can [...]]]></description>
