		<description><![CDATA[This weekend I did an overnight ride to Branch County.   There was a wind from the northeast both days, and temperatures were cool, so I wimped out and stayed in a cheap motel instead of camping. I tried to explain to the woman who runs the motel that I was planning a few stops in <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2012/04/23/algansee/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Prairie Home cemetery in Richland is only ten miles from home.    I hadn&#8217;t been there since a long-ago Memorial Day when one of my kids was in high school band, well before I started the Spokesrider project.  (Gull Lake High School is almost next door.) I expected to find that some of the 52 <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2011/08/21/george-l-slater/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve often wished I had a guide to public drinking water fountains along my routes, so I can know where I can fill up my water bottles for free.  Such places are fairly rare these days. It might be a surprise to the younger generations to learn that water doesn&#8217;t come from plastic bottles and <a href='http://www.spokesrider.com/2011/08/01/water-stop-in-centreville/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>
