    Such an extraordinary story - he's amazing! Didn't you say he might write a book in previous thread?

    Forget the diet pills, the fat-blockers, the crazy diets! Since taking up cycling myself earlier this year, after decades of being very overweight (and trying and failing and trying and failing to deal with it), it turned out what I needed to do to lose weight and get in shape was to WANT to exercise! Once I found an activity I loved, and such great people to share it with, everything kind of fell into place. Making better food choices and becoming more active in general became part of wanting to keep improving as a cyclist. I still have a long way to go, and your brother's story is a great inspration and motivation! 200 miles! Wow - it's so cool!

    Sam

    SadieKate, the man Mike Magnuson wrote about is Sam. His handle on bj is Sam. He lives in Knoxville, TN.

    bikerchic, congrats to your brother. That is an amazing accomplishment for anyone and hopefully he'll use his story to inspire and encourage others to pursue the same path. I bet he's glad to have you as a sister and cycling enthusiast, too. I look forward to reading his story in Bicycling.
