And then.... He literally floated down the other side on his older Cannondale Jekyll, leaving all the rest of us way behind. I've never seen someone so big move so effortlessly and gracefully on a bike, it was awe-inspiring.

Well, for you, of course. Those guys probably won't be telling it--at least not the same way! Maybe they are readers of your blog? Might be interesting to hear their side of the story. :o) Great story. Well, for you, of course. Those guys probably won’t be telling it–at least not the same way!

I might be getting myself a bit lost but it seems you could have written: "As a fat cyclist (as well as AS The Fat Cyclist)..." Someone as emphatically emphatic as you could have revelled in a sentence that started AS WELL AS that! Fatty,

I think you missed an opportunity when you wrote
“As a fat cyclist (as well as The Fat Cyclist)….”

I might be getting myself a bit lost but it seems you could have written:
