“You used to be as big as two of me and two of Mommy,” Chloe says, bouncing around her father. Cutshall smiles.
Everything in his life has changed. He is humble and thankful for it. But Cutshall exudes a calm confidence. After years of self-doubt, he has a new belief in himself. It’s that belief—not to mention a bike built in Minneapolis—that may have saved his life.

In an August e-mail to TCB, updating his progress, Scott Cutshall says he and his family will move this fall to the cycling city that originally beckoned, Portland, Oregon. About riding through the Minnesota winter he writes, “Well, suffice it to say, I did it, know I can do it, am proud of having done it—but really don’t want to again.”
He’s staying with the same regimen of meals: “The only changes are, I continue to get smaller, feel better, and ride even further,” 30 to 40 miles per day. “My latest weigh-in had me at 198.6 pounds.” As the sign-off on his blog posts says, he plans to “Keep ridin’ . . . always.”
