  1. I saw an interesting-looking book the other night but was either too
    hurried or too cheap to buy it, but now I wish I had.

    I don't recall the title exactly, but the book is a memoir of a guy
    who was grossly overweight and just decided one day he would start
    biking, building toward some competition or event that was less than
    a year away.

    The front cover has a naked fat man riding a bike; the back cover
    shows the author in a biking outfit, looking very svelte.

    Anyone know the title/author of this book? I can't just go back to
    the bookstore and find it, because it was out of place when I looked
    at it.

    tmac, still enjoying her Roadie and looking for some inspiration

  2. His name is Michael M? The author went from 250 to somewhere a lot less
    according to the flap. I saw it in the bicycling section of Borg & Nobles.

    That's the one. I'll look for it again tomorrow.

    Thanks,

  4. Please let me know what you thought of it. I picked it up and put it down
    too. Then after buying a couple of other books I thought again about buying
    it. Unfortunately I can only read so many books at one time and keep them
    straight in my head..lol.

  5. Hi! Couldn't tell if someone had given you the name of the book. I think
    it's Heft on Wheels: A Field Guide to Doing a 180, by Mike Magnuson. Hope
    this helps! melissa
