Ready for spring? Damn, I just put my winter training tires on my bike! Of course, I have but the one road bike to use for all of my training and racing. I can only imagine how disgusting everything will be by spring. Aside from necessary lubrication and occasional wipe-downs, my bicycle will probably remain in grimy winter mode until April. Well, new tires will go on for March - I'm not crazy enough to start my spring races on Conti Ultra Sports (ride like rocks, have no grip, but they last forever!). Other than that, it's gonna be a long messy winter. I prefer not to spiff things up for spring until there is some assurance that they won't get completely disgusting within a week.
