[IMG]http://www.cyclingforums.com/content/type/61/id/274525/width/350/height/700[/IMG] Ernest Gagnon weighed 570 pounds before he decided to lose weight by taking up cyclocross racing. Forgoing surgery, Gagnon lost more than 200 pounds and recently competed in his first cyclocross race. Instead Of Surgery, Man Pedals Off The Pounds http://www.npr.org/2012/10/09/162586325/instead-of-surgery-man-pedals-off-the-pounds?ft=1&f=1003 Two years ago, Gagnon tipped the scales at 570 pounds. He was depressed and embarrassed to leave the house. These days, at age 33, Gagnon is 240 pounds slimmer. He is still very big by any standard, but a lot less so. Seeing him, surrounded by svelte, Lycra-clad athletes, squeezed into some spandex of his own, is a little bit jarring at first.
