<p>I built this place to write things down - about showing up, slowing down, and the long versions of questions we usually answer in the short versions. You’ll find posts here about work, life in the East Bay, cycling, reading, and whatever else feels like it belongs.</p>

<p>The design is deliberately quiet. The writing is the point.</p>

<p>Thanks for coming by.</p>]]></content><author><name>Ryan Bicker</name></author><summary type="html"><![CDATA[This is the first post on The Long Road.]]></summary></entry></feed>
