With a few weeks of down time and nothing exciting over even remotely interesting happening I thought I would spend my free time being productive; so I decided to give my training bike a long overdue cleaning…man did it need to be cleaned! That’s to Carson and the folks at Inside-Out-Sports I took my Trek in for a overhaul, something I hadn’t done for over a 1.5 years.

After stripping the bike down to it’s frame I realized just how dirty it really was! The parts washer was key in helping to remove all the grease, grim, and who knows what else was stuck in all those hard to reach spots.Also I cleaned out the frame as much as I could, including the inside. After taking the seat post off and turning the frame upside down what seemed like a gallon of water poured out! Like I said this cleaning was long over due, but now my bike is ready to take on the grim of winter riding…and will probably be just as dirty as it was in about a week. Oh well, at least it was clean…and I’m sure that it will work better at least until it needs to be cleaned again!

I told you I had some down time…and nothing exciting is happening! :)
