	<title>Momentum Mag: Rockin' the Bike</title>
	<link><![CDATA[http://momentummag.com/]]></link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - The new issue of Mo Mag is supposedly their Buyer's Guide but it's also jampacked with Bike Culture and reports on Safe Streets politics. It's awesome.  They have a fairly long profile of Mark Gorton, a multi-talented biz whiz who's behind a lot of NYC's recent safe streets projects. It's inspiring. Lots of good quotes that se...]]></description>

	<title>Insta-Trail: Hiking does the Trick</title>
	<link>http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=2055</link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - I've been getting into trail design in recent years. It's a lotta work. But it occurs to me that hiking doesn't require a clear path. It's easy to *step over* stuff. It's the rolley and slidey stuff that makes me sweat over my chainsaw.   Heck, trail-running doesn't require a clear path, either.   So I've started adding both...]]></description>

	<title>Canoe S24O at Rose Lake</title>
	<link>http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=2056</link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - The other day we were busy right up to darkness but the evening was so nice I decided I was going to go camping, by jove, anyway. My saying is "Events conspire." They conspire to stop me from doing a lotta things. Try to do something and watch other things rise up and stop it. So sometimes ya just gotta do it anyway even if it's...]]></description>

	<title>RIP: Joel Brockmyre -- Strappin Dude, Fighter</title>
	<link>http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=2057</link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - Here's a memoriam for Joel Brockmyre, a longtime pal who has gone to Valhalla ahead of us. He had a rough last while but got to leave in his prime. No fading for him, or years of walkers.   We were housemates in Breckenridge in the mid-80's then went and took on a wild sailboat out in LA in '87 -- with me just out of a thigh-c...]]></description>

	<title>Not Bragging If Ya Did It: 3 Diverse, Innovative Articles in Nat'l Media</title>
	<link>http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=2053</link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - Last year I pulled off a stunt that I think is cool and that I don't think anyone else has done. (I'd love to see some info to the contrary to help me flesh things out.)  I wrote articles for national magazines about 3 totally different areas of sport and each of them was first-ever's for the media, that is, they weren't just ...]]></description>

	<title>CX Your Roadbike for Better Summer Fun!</title>
	<link>http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=2052</link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - I just had fun doing a little underbiking in the true CX style. What's that, you ask? Well, nowadays a lot of CX bikes are just that CX bikes. But back in the day, CX is what roadies did in the winter. On their road bikes. You know what that did for them? Well, they had winter fun but they also got to know their road bikes a LOT...]]></description>

	<title>Outdoor Safety: Real Gains? ...Yeah: PFD's!</title>
	<link>http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=2049</link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - I'm thinking of safety devices and their effectiveness ... and resistance to wearing them ... and affect in injury after their use become widespread ... Bike helmets are part of this, obviously.   We can tie helmet use in with skiing as well. And motorcycles, of course. And race-car drivers and, to get into some fun theory, ca...]]></description>

	<title>Canoe Adventure Rig Set-up: Next Item ... "Dashboard"</title>
	<link>http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=2050</link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - I've been long inculcated with the racing side of paddling fever. I love a stripped-down maximally lightweight fast boat. Well, I've come to see that there's more to a canoe than that.   Like, if you go out for over an hour, it's nice to have a snack or a bev. It's also fun to decorate a boat a bit, why not.   I did an adven...]]></description>

	<title>Hugh Heward 2013: Sunny Perfection!</title>
	<link>http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=2051</link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - The 14th Annual Hugh Heward Canoe Challenge, hosted by the Verlen Kruger Memorial, went off with eclat and aplomb on a gorgeous day yesterday.   The usual pattern seemed to hold true: most boats chose the ultimate 50 mile distance, a "Full Hugh." Fewer did the Half and fewest did the Quarter. Probably 70 or so paddlers in all ...]]></description>

	<title>Mike's Cool Vintage Bag</title>
	<link>http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=1818</link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - [FROM 12/30/2011] Pal Mike has a neat old leather shoulderbag with an attached mesh bag. I wonder what it really is... Is there fishing involved?  [UPDATE 4/25/13: It's a HARDY Trout Fisher's Bag, from the UK. They run about $200. Nice classic bag! I'm guessing they've been making this model for 100 yrs.] ]]></description>

	<title>Cyclocross Mag #20: Worlds + Gravel</title>
	<link>http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=2048</link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - Just got the new issue of CX Mag. It has a lot of background on the Worlds. It's neat how they don't try to cover the event 'as it happened' -- that's what their website does. Instead, they go deep.  And they include a cute pic that includes Ol' Antler Helmet! : )  More at http://www.cxmagazine.com -- a sub is only $20, so c...]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - I've been hankering to do a Sub 24 Hour Overnight bikecamping trip for years now. It's been hilariously frustrating trying to find an evening that's free and with nice weather -- and we aren't even busy people.   The Midwest is complicated in a way for this kind of camping, since the best seasons for it are spring and fall -- ...]]></description>

	<title>Nudging CX to the Next Level: Nearly There!</title>
	<link>http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=2046</link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - I think the CX scene is *almost* there in terms of rebuilding a new core in US sport cycling. Only a few more pieces in the puzzle are needed. I'm no expert -- it's just a hunch.  To show you how close CX is, right now it has the sport, and the mayhem, and the silliness that's needed (new issue #20 of CX Mag has a good silline...]]></description>

	<title>An Outing with a Canoe Gang</title>
	<link>http://www.outyourbackdoor.com/article.php?id=2045</link>
	<description><![CDATA[December 31, 1969 - I went on a canoe outing yesterday with a group of guys who've been paddling together for 30 years, since before some of them were born. It's a multi-generation group that grows from 10 to 20 depending on the outing. They have an original outing in mid-Feb up north on the Pine River for a few days. Snow, straw bales, tents and c...]]></description>
