Newbie with a 15 year old Nashbar 3000

Hi everyone. I've dug out my Nashbar 3000 that I bought about 15 years ago and road maybe a couple dozen times and it's been sitting in a dry garage until a couple days ago. It appears to be dirty, flat tires and in need of a tune up, but generally in near new condition in terms of wear and tear. I want to do some road riding for physical conditioning and recreation. Short rides now, getting progressively longer. I'm planning on taking it to a LBS for a tune-up and am looking for any advice on component upgrades. I know nothing about the sport and suspect technology has progressed in the last 15 years. Is this bicycle worth the cost of some worthwhile upgrades while I get some miles and experiance, or should I leave it alone? I see a lot of discussion about changing out drop bars, saddles, tire sizes, etc... Thoughts and advice appreciated.
