		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Ever bike? Now that&#8217;s something that makes life worth living! I take exercise every afternoon that way. O- to just grip your handlebars and lay down to it (lie doesn&#8217;t hit it at all), and go ripping and tearing through the streets and road, over railroad tracks and bridges, threading crowds, avoiding collisions, at twenty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sucking wind like a vacuum cleaner&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;One of the reasons I ride is because it hurts at times. There&#8217;s a certain discipline and freedom that comes when you push yourself to the limit. There have been times when my heart is about to jump out of my chest, my tongue is dragging in my spokes, and i&#8217;m sucking wind like a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Cairngorm 100 Sportive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[58th out of 240 riders wasn&#8217;t bad over the 100 mile course. I rode it in 5hrs 30mins, but had been on for a close 5hrs 10 and was flying only to blow in the last 25miles. When will I learn to keep eating and pace myself early on.
