Yay, finally some outside time and exercise

I just got in from shovelling the driveway. I did a very thorough job, because it felt so good to be outside and doing something that I spent probably 3 hours out there screwing around. Shovelled a lane to the mailbox, a path to the bird feeder, fed the birds, and while I was out there did some work on the bike.

I feel a lot better, the cold is down to just a bit of a frog in my throat, no headache, no listlessness.

Bike maintenance

I decided the time has come to replace the chain and freewheel.
I let the chain go too long almost a year ago, so I decided to just keep going on it. It has nearly 5000 miles on it I think. It should have been replaced at 1800. Since it went so long, it wrecked the freewheel too, so I had to replace both at once.
I also replaced the kickstand that snapped in half when I was trying to wrench off my clipless pedals a couple of weeks back to put on the platform pedals.
So, new chain, new freewheel
Odometer: 12,500 miles
