		<description><![CDATA[In my consistent run of bunch riding in Canberra, I became a quick study in the morays of the bunch:

You must ride in bunches. If you are solo, you had better be: (a) riding to a bunch, (b) riding home or work from a bunch, (c) dropped from a bunch or (d) flatted or had some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My bunch ride (translation: group ride) attendance since arriving in Canberra is unmatched, even by the most hardy. This isn&#8217;t necessarily something to be proud of from a performance standpoint. After a few weeks of bunch riding after arriving, my thought was, &#8220;How do these guys go so hard, so often?&#8221; There are group rides [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When making a summit attempt in the high mountains, the final push must begin very early morning. So, I rolled out of bed around 9 and sauntered out for some Muesli and toast. The climb starts by loading supplies (e.g. sandwiches, soda pop, chips) into a rental car and driving to base camp at Thredbo, a popular altitude [...]]]></description>

There is a weird pointy building in Sydney.
There is a big red rock somewhere.
The toilet circles in the opposite direction.

I can confirm 1 of the 3. There is a weird building in Australia. It was one of the first things I saw from the plane we we arrived. I&#8217;ll probably [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s the dream: I&#8217;m out on a lonely open road in Australia, the unfiltered sun penetrating my skin on a hot spring day in November.
