If you read a lot of cycling sites, eventually you’ll come across Fat Cyclist. It is a well written, humorous site about racing, riding, and bike culture. If you’ve read it recently, you’ll know that the author’s wife, Susan, was battling cancer and there was a whole group of Team Fatty riders nationwide raising over $500,000 cancer research funds through the Livestrong foundation. With sadness, Elden Nelson is being reported that Susan died from her cancer last night, August 5 at 7:25pm.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Nelson family on their loss. If you would like to leave a comment or condolence, you can do so through the Fat Cyclist site here. Team Fatty is also doing a giveaway of an Orbea Orca with Di2 Shimano Electronic shifting drawn from people who donate to the Team Fatty Livestrong Fund here.
