			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>January was a successful month for less driving.  By using my new <a title="Previous post about the card" href="http://www.hbadventure.com/blog/index.php/2010/01/orca-card/">Orca bus pass</a> I was able to cut out my drives to the train station which meant <em>zero</em> solo trips in the car.</p>
<p>The monthly total was 59 miles biking to 0 miles driving.  I&#8217;m happy with the result, but my bike is starting to show some of the miles.  It&#8217;s been two years since a full tune up, and about 5 since any parts have been replaced.  Lately, I&#8217;ve been tinkering with it before each ride but the results are mixed.  Time to have a pro look at it.  This morning I dropped it off at <a title="They are voted Seattle's Best Bike Shop" href="http://www.greggscycles.com/" target="_blank">Gregg&#8217;s Cycles</a> in Alderwood.  I&#8217;ve always been happy with their work (they were voted Seattle&#8217;s best bicycle shop, so I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m alone).  Plus, there&#8217;s a good chance of getting the bike back in one day.  Very nice.</p>
<p>January was also much warmer than December, so there weren&#8217;t any new temperature readings to record.  I did <a href="http://www.hbadventure.com/blog/index.php/2010/01/winter-beard/">grow out the beard</a>, but it hasn&#8217;t really been necessary since this is the warmest January I can remember.</p>
