Heart Bypass Survivor Pedals Across U.S., Then Dies
(from the Associated Press)
ANDERSON, Ind. -- A cycling enthusiast's "trip of a lifetime" has turned out to be his last.
One day after finishing a cross-country bike ride, he died of a heart attack.
Broc Bebout, 57, had pedaled from California to Georgia. He was stricken Thursday on the drive back home to Indiana. A fellow rider said an ambulance arrived within minutes, but Bebout couldn't be saved.
His wife said bicycling had brought her husband nearly 20 years of good health after he had quadruple-bypass surgery at age 39.
She said that, for him, the cross-country ride was "a trip of a lifetime."
"We all have a list of things we like to say we did," she said. For him, "that was right up there at the top."

I'm gonna hoist my Ultimate Double Whopper (with Double Cheese and Double Bacon) in memory of this fine Hoosier tomorrow at lunch. I suggest you do the same.
