		<title>Bike fitting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I bought my new triathlon bike (2006 Jamis Comet), I have been wanting to get a proper fitting. I went to one of the local bike shops, and had the owner guy fit me. I was told by a triathlete friend that he was good, and that he fitted her (she had been referred [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bike fitting appointment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been planning to get it done since I bought my new Jamis tri-bike. So last night after my aikido class, I stopped at the bike shop which is just around the corner. A triathlete friend of mine recommended the guy that does the fittings there.
When I asked if he was the only one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cycleops Fluid 2 trainer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought a Cycleops Fluid 2 trainer to replace my Cycleops Wind trainer. The Wind Trainer was free (someone had put it out to the curb), but worked well, other than being loud. But since I am going to be doing a lot more spinning, I decided to invest in a better (and quieter) trainer.
I [...]]]></description>

		<title>X-Lab X-Strap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I got the X-Lab Flat Wing installed. I got the X-Nut situation resolved, and got it installed. It holds my CO2 cartridges, and Micro-Flate okay. It looks kind of wierd having the one CO2 cartridge pointing down. I bought a couple Specialized bottle cages at the local bike shop. So I was ready to [...]]]></description>

		<title>XLab Flatwing system</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My XLab Flatwing system came via UPS. I was excited to install it. The Flatwing itself installed pretty easily. Just a couple brackets, and 4 screws, and I had it attached to the rails of my bike saddle. There were two positions that it could be mounted. I first mounted it the one way which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Behind the seat bottle cages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have gone back and forth about whether to get behind the seat bottle cages. I have read they are less aerodynamic. I have read they are more aerodynamic. Ack! Who to believe. The difference seems to be minor. Currently I have a bag under seat. I use it to store a couple tubes, Microflate, [...]]]></description>

		<title>2008 Tour De Cure-Buffalo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have wanted to ride a century for a while now. I signed up for one last year, but after driving the 100 mile very hilly course, I started having second thoughts. Especially since I was running a marathon within a week or two afterward. I decided to focus on the marathon, and dropped down [...]]]></description>

		<title>Profile Design Aerodrink vs Vision Tech Drinkmore</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I ordered a Profile Design Aerodrink system for my bike. Unfortunatly the place I ordered it from sent the older design bottle, not the newer design bottle that they actually have displayed on their website. When I get all that straightened, I will describe the saga in detail on my website. Anyway, the new bottle [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to change a flat tire&#8230;over and over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I was riding around the Buffalo Marathon course to cheer on some friends that were running in it. I stopped at the 7.5/11 mile point. After they had all passed, I got back onto my bike to ride ahead, and found I had a flat tire! Ouch! I moved my bike back to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ordered a Cycleops Fluid 2 trainer</title>

I had been thinking of buying a mag trainer or a fluid trainer at the time, and then one day while driving to working, someone had stuck a wind trainer out on the curb [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dust in the eye-aborted ride</title>

I got up, got all my stuff together, and headed out the door. This was only the second ride on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Profile Design Razor and AeroDrink bottle systems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having a new aerodynamic bike, I wanted aerodynamic water bottles. I researched what would be the most aerodynamic water bottles, and I came up with a couple. One, I could mount a standard water bottle on the downtube, and it will according to wind tunnel tests, will make the bike more aerodynamic than without the [...]]]></description>

		<title>My new bike from Jenson USA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had been shopping around to buy a tri-bike. I couldn&#8217;t afford to buy a high end carbon fiber, pro level race bike. But I figured I might find a deal on an entry level tri-bike. I shopped around the net, and found some pretty good deals on Felt tri-bikes and tri-bikes made by Jamis. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Squeaking rear derailleur</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was spinning tonight to the Spinervals 24-Hillacious DVD. Whenever I shifted into the big gear on the front, and the smallest cog on the back (13 teeth), I would get a very annoying squeaking. I didn&#8217;t get the squeaking on the next cog up (14 teeth). I only got the squeaking on the smallest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Planning bike training routes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For my ride yesterday, I wanted to ride some place, have breakfast and ride home. I wanted to ride about 40 miles total. I didn&#8217;t want anything with lots of killer hills, but not flat either. So I started playing with Google Maps, and found the town of Newark was about 19 miles away. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aero bottles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been searching on info about aero bottles, or where to mount regular bottles. There is a ton of information out there. They have done various wind tunnel tests, and the results are very surprising. One of the best pages I found was here:
http://www.slowtwitch.com/mainheadings/techctr/waterbottles.html
I was amazed to learn that having one bottle mounted on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recumbent for sale!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am selling my recumbent. It just really wasn&#8217;t for me. I did a Sunday morning recumbent ride with the local club. The guys were kind of wierd. Nice, but wierd. I just couldn&#8217;t see myself hanging out with them. And I guess, I enjoying riding an upright race style bike more. I ordered my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ordered 2006 Jamis Comet triathlon bike</title>

It has been upgraded some, but the components are still old. The wheels are basic non-aero profile wheels. with lots of round wind [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tour De Cure-Buffalo 100 miler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have never ridden a century before. The longest ride I have done was a 50 miler that was actually about 55 miles. That was a tough hilly ride. Then this last weekend I did a 30 mile mountain bike race that was very tough terrain.
I saw a Tour De Cure (American Diabetes Association) was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Looking at triathlon bikes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have decided that I want to try a triathlon. At least a half Ironman, and probably a full Ironman. So maybe it&#8217;s time I update my bike. I have put a bunch of miles on my 1990 Trek 1000. But I am thinking I might want a better bike.
I glanced on ebay and found [...]]]></description>
