		<description><![CDATA[All right. I have a lot of bad news, but some promising alternatives.
After a long rest for my knees I set out again on my TransAm bicycle tour last Friday. With less of a load, a new, fairly-flat-in-the-beginning route to the southern states via the Atlantic coast . I took a train out to Somerville, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First thing: weight. It&#8217;s funny how, going in to this, it was so difficult deciding what to bring. Packing had been a very carefully-calculated process that took up quite a bit of my time. And now, going back through all of my effects, my calculated bits and pieces, it took me all of five minutes [...]]]></description>

I need to make some adjustments to the Romic, to the weight, and to the route. When I came up with this idea to tour the world on a bicycle, a little [...]]]></description>

Day one: 121 km, lost my way 3 times, 1 flat tire, 1 flash flood, 2 busted knees.
The worst day ever. That was until&#8230;
Day two: 32 km, 2 worthless knees.
Saturday morning I was filled with optimism. You couldn&#8217;t wipe the smile off my face.

My optimism was short-lived.

I’ve been a little overwhelmed for the last few months. Not only with the big trip coming up- well, sure, it’s mostly with the big trip coming up, but also with the difficult process of closing up shop here in Brooklyn. I’ve decided that rather than spend the money to store all of [...]]]></description>

(Because I really don&#8217;t have anything else to write about at this point, so&#8230;)

I sat down recently and took a hard look at the Romic (my bike), my soon-to-be work-horse, which will be acting as the loaded in &#8220;Fully Loaded&#8221; and will put the tour in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[*Bike nerd alert*

From what I’ve been reading, handlebar comfort for the touring sect is as important as a comfortable hiking shoe for the backpacker. I&#8217;m pretty sure this is true. I do know from riding around town, once I hit the 40-mile mark the neck and upper back pain set in and then get progressively [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you Gear Obsessed?
If you&#8217;re not sure, here are some symptoms to look out for:

eye strain from searching the web for hours and hours looking for &#8220;the best gear&#8221;
an unnatural excitement (or high) achieved by finding what you think just may be &#8220;the best gear&#8221;
a false sense of pride when your &#8220;find&#8221; has been confirmed [...]]]></description>
