Spring Cleaning

Boy is it ever time for Spring cleaning...mentally, emotionally, physically...self, home, bike, wardrobe. This time of year amazes me. What is it about the change of seasons and urges to make one's own changes? As the weather warms and the breeze starts to feel good through slightly opened windows my thoughts seem to automatically turn to clearing out the old and purging the clutter.The last dregs of winter doldrums ready to slide from my mind and trickle away to nothing. My spirits lift and I think with excitement of the upcoming days. All the places not visited during the winter now beckon to me, my bike, and the wee one. Surely a trip to the zoo is forthcoming along with myriad trips to parks and playgrounds.But first, fitting the bike for our travels. We have moved from the old Raleigh tank to an old, but not so tankish Trek. Got his seat on it, all is oiled but still need to get the rack mounted...gotta have a place to carry our stuff! Need slighter higher stem for the handlebars, lights, new pedals, and new seat. All should be pretty easy to take care of and then we will be set to ride anywhere. Oh yeah, lets not forget lots of sunshine to bring some warmth on these still rather cool days.
