This is a relatively enlightened but marginally qualified post to this blog.\u00a0 Yesterday, March 20, 2010, the day before someone turned 29 BTW, it was incredibly warm here in northern New England (upper 60’s F) and absolutely gorgeous.\u00a0 Given this was the first day since last summer that felt this way and there were no other crises, it was a perfect opportunity to deal with some broken trees and items around the yard, which Mary and I did for the day.\u00a0 Why does this relate to a bike blog, you ask?\u00a0 Well, we started with outside stuff, then swept and organized the garage a bit, and the finale for this annual tradition is always blowing up the tires on the bikes.\u00a0 Usually this entails a quick flirtation with a compressor and then replacing the dusty bikes in the corner.\u00a0 However, since there is new inspiration for biking, this was a major and culminating event in the day.\u00a0 The grandchildren seem to have newer and cleaner bikes (go figure), and their\u00a0tire pressure was good.\u00a0 There was more dust and grime on Mary’s and mine, but with a wipe down and some air, they are good to go.\u00a0\u00a0 Those new, obscenely priced puncture resistant tires I put on my bike last year held up well over the winter.\u00a0 I did a liberating 0.05 miles in the driveway without a helmet and in boots, and then carefully put the bikes away.\u00a0 The NEXT uncommitted Saturday that breaks 60 F will definitely be a day for the road!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
