Thinking about making a trip and was wondering which roads were good for biking.  Thanks.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I started using maps from &lt;a href="http://www.adventurecycling.org/"&gt;adventure cycling &lt;/a&gt; but decided to use google maps to plot my route instead. I would pick a destination (campground etc…) for the day’s ride, and adjust my route in maps. Then I would email myself the directions. Stay off any road that looks like an interstate or main through road.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My general route can be seen on &lt;a href="http://bikeacrossthe.us"&gt;http://bikeacrossthe.us&lt;/a&gt;, but most of the fun is to discover things which you wont do if you end up taking the well traveled adventure cycling route.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://colin.nederkoorn.co.uk/post/867631453</link><guid>http://colin.nederkoorn.co.uk/post/867631453</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:38:43 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Thanks Oakley for air conditioning the street</title><description>&lt;img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5xj6eo16A1qz73leo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Thanks Oakley for air conditioning the street&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://colin.nederkoorn.co.uk/post/842370442</link><guid>http://colin.nederkoorn.co.uk/post/842370442</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:44:24 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Mexico gets knocked out of the world cup, NYC watches</title><description>&lt;img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4v485wDLF1qz73leo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mexico gets knocked out of the world cup, NYC watches&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://colin.nederkoorn.co.uk/post/756406632</link><guid>http://colin.nederkoorn.co.uk/post/756406632</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jul 2010 00:52:50 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Union station, washington dc</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4v47yAqkx1qz73leo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Union station, washington dc&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://colin.nederkoorn.co.uk/post/756406279</link><guid>http://colin.nederkoorn.co.uk/post/756406279</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jul 2010 00:52:50 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Andreas Fendri: Link Checker - Sample of Good UX In Gmail User Interface</title><description>&lt;a href="http://andreasfendri.com/post/693703853/link-checker-sample-of-good-ux-in-gmail-user"&gt;Andreas Fendri: Link Checker - Sample of Good UX In Gmail User Interface&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sometimes I want to put one or more links in my email message. I know, its not a big issue. I can just simply select the text, then I hit the link icon. An overlay dialog window then popped-up on my screen. Here, I can type the URL by typing directly to the web address form field or just…&lt;/p&gt;

Let’s face it: most of us will not be able to make the trip to South Africa for the &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.fifa.com/index.html"&gt;2010 FIFA World Cup&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;In your environments/development.rb, add the following line:&lt;/p&gt;
