With spring quickly approaching, we riders need to pay attention to of bikes which generally have been sitting since the last ride of the fall. A good T-CLOCK inspection is due, NOT for riding though, but to identify needs for repair and maintenance. Once shortcomings are identified, we need to make a plan for getting it fixed prior to riding! Once the maintenance is up to speed, we should also "maintenance" ourselves, by mentally and physically preparing ourselves for the ride. Remember to practice, practice, practice!! Braking and avoidance drills!!!!
