Default Double Amputee Rider?

Somewhere here alt.mountain-bike or rec.bicycles.tech I read a thread with
reference to somebody who was a double amputee who rode fairly seriously.

There's a guy near where I live who is looking for other amputees to put
together some sort of team.

Anybody know the double guy's name/address?

Steve Cook's a bka lives in Salt Lake and works at Wildrose. He's a
world champion in nordic skiing and was I think 5th in track cycling in
the '96 paraolympics.

He's also one of the strongest mtn bikers in SLC. One or two legs.

My mother met a chap who'd lost both legs in the Gulf, but rode a
recumbent handcycle; the front part detatched to make it a more
conventional wheelchair.

Sadly, he was unable to complete his planned circuit of Iceland because of
the difficulty of fording rivers.

UNIX sysadmin, but I don't see the relevance to amputee cyclists, to put
it mildly.

Just that I see a lot of your post in the rec.bicycles.tech newsgroup,
thought you worked in a bike related environment.
