Tomorrow we’ll have a story on bike fitting in the Adventure section. I went through a bike fitting at Old Town Bicycle a couple of weeks ago with manager Tory Grant. The difference has been amazing. I’m in a more comfortable position on my bike and I feel more efficient.

The biggest change to the look of my bike was the removal of the aerobars.

“I’m going to convince you to get rid of those,” Grant said. “People put them on there bikes because they think they need a place to rest. But really, aerobars are for time trial bikes. You don’t really need it.”

If a bike fits properly you don’t need aerobars, Grant said.

When I thought about it I realized for all the hundreds of miles I’ve pedaled on my bike I’ve rarely used my aerobars. I’ve just been carrying them along for the ride.

Now that my bike fits properly I can easily reach the lower portion of my handlebars giving me the same aerodynamic position I would have gotten from my aerobars.

Here’s a link to the Old Town bike fitting page. Bike fittings are about $100 to $200 for your current bike. Bike’s purchased at the store include a bike fitting.

For years, Rob Endsley would awake before dawn to prepare for another day as a fishing guide.

While he has cut back on his guiding, the Bellingham angler will still have to get up early on Saturdays.

He is joining ex-Seahawk Robbie Tobeck and fisheries biologist Tom G. Nelson as hosts of “The Outdoor Line” that will air 6 to 8:30 a.m. Saturdays on the new 710 ESPN Seattle. The show debuts this Saturday.

I fished with Endsley at the recent Anacortes Salmon Derby. He said he was excited about the show’s prospects. He’s also familiar with the show’s history.

“Bill Davis, who used to do (the show), he was a walking encyclopedia of Northwest outdoors,” Endsley said. “I used to listen to it every Sunday night with my dad.”

I asked Endsley how the new show will be different than “Northwest Wild Country.” That show -- hosted by outdoors journalist Joel Shangle, Salmon, Trout, Steelheader columnist Bill Herzog and G. Loomis rod rep and casting instructor Mike Perusse -- airs 6 to 8 a.m. Saturdays on KJR 950.

He said “The Outdoor Line” will include listener call in and a segment he called “Guide Line.”

“If people are going fishing or hunting, we can get them pointed in the right direction,” Endsley said.

If our day on the water is any indication, Endsley already has a good rapport with his co-hosts. He was on the cell phone three times with Tobeck, who wanted reports on the derby after he opted not to take part.

Endsley said Tobeck and Nelson will have to carry the on-air load in the summer when he is in Craig, Alaska, running his Prince of Wales Sportfishing guide service.
