What I need for the next season

I have looked over my bike for two or three seconds today and went to air up the tires and get in some base miles to get back to the commute. Well I made it to the front and found loose spokes so I took the bike in and won't get it back until Monday. Mostly, I need to get off my butt and pedal off my gut. I will be so happy to be rolling with my friends again.
When I get it back it will be withouth the partially broken derailer gard as I was advised that it is dangeous and sharp as is.
I may ride Friday even if it is cold.
