The Daily Fix is a blog about riding bikes everyday. Though, I now own a Raleigh Sojourn tourer that I often ride to work, it is still my fixie that I ride when I want to go fast and it is my fixie that made me realize that I don't actually want to grow out of riding bikes.

Big Wheels Keep On Turnin'
I've been thinking about riding my Capo down the Oregon Coast. North to south. My goal is three days. There are 360ish miles on the Oregon Coast. That means that I have to ride 120ish miles a day...on a fixie. So I went for a quick spin today on the Johnson Road Loop. That loop is 20 miles. I rode that in an hour and twenty minutes. I figure that at that pace, I should only have to be on the bike about 7 hours a day--give or take. It seems more manageable when I think of 120 miles in those terms. Just 20 miles at a time. So, much of what you hear from me from here on out will be looking forward to that. Lots of gear reviews especially. I hope you enjoy.

Samuel Stumbo, that would be sick. You gotta do it. I want to see some lighthouse and whale photos. When you thinking about doing this?
