		<description><![CDATA[Up in the far reaches of Northern Washington, nearly bumping into Canada even, is a wonderful little backroad perfect for sport-touring. 
Why, you might ask would you go all the way up there to ride good roads? One fine reason is there&#8217;s hardly any other traffic on them. 37 miles of rural 2-lane with only [...]]]></description>
