ANOTHER Mountain Biker Death
\Apparently, the health benefits of mountain biking are exaggerated.
Mike http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_7566275: Shock over death of pro mountain biker Janelle By Scott Willoughby The Denver Post Article Last Updated: 11/27/2007 12:05:47 AM MST Mike Janelle was a three-time Race Across America team champion and just a month ago won the 24 Hours of Moab with his teammate Nat Ross. (Scott Willoughby, The Denver Post )Three-time Race Across America team champion and all-around Colorado cycling marvel Mike Janelle died abruptly of an apparent heart attack at his home in Avon early Friday morning. An autopsy is underway to determine the exact cause of death to the 40-year-old pro mountain bike racer and Tokyo Joe's/Gary Fisher team rider. "Everyone is completely shocked," said longtime friend and riding companion Kelli Anthony Rohrig. Only a month earlier, Janelle and teammate Nat Ross had won the two-man team division of the grueling 24 Hours of Moab endurance mountain bike race. A professional mountain bike racer since 1996 and elite road cyclist since 1988, Janelle focused primarily on endurance mountain bike events, representing the U.S. at the UCI world marathon championships in 2005, the same year he won his first 24 Hours of Moab event with teammate Jay Henry of Vail. He finished fifth at the USA Cycling marathon national championships won by Henry in Breckenridge on July 4 and was an equally strong competitor on a road bike. Janelle was considered a driving force behind Team Beaver Creek-Catlin, racing alongside friends Ross, Jimi Mortensen and Zach Bingham to a third consecutive victory in the four-man team category of the 3,000-mile Race Across America in June. Known for his wide smile, charisma and dedication to cycling, Janelle worked as a ski instructor at Beaver Creek Resort in the winter, regularly riding his bike to work. "He just loved to be on a bike," Rohrig said. Born of Native American descent in Chickasha, Okla., Janelle spent most of his life in Colorado, living in Eagle County for 23 years. His wife, Mirabel, is currently pregnant with the couple's first child. Friends and family held a memorial service in Janelle's honor at the Vilar Center at Beaver Creek on Monday night.

\Apparently, the health benefits of mountain biking are exaggerated. Mike http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_7566275: Shock over death of pro mountain biker Janelle Rubbish. If somebody has high enough cholesterol, they're pretty much doomed.... period - or at least they were back in 1994 when I got my little up-close look. Maybe there are interventions available now that weren't around then, but unless somebody knows of their situation it's still moot. Damn, I thought I had that guy kill-filed. -- PeteCresswell |

You have absolutely no evidence, just your own speculation. WHATEVER happens to him obviously has A LOT to do with his profession, since he spends so much time at it. DUH! If mountain biking improves health, on average, this shouldn't happen. Get real.
