That's why I went back to road biking. I couldn't find a mountainbiking partner and there aren't enough people coming by to find you if something happens.

They say foul play is a possibility because the dogs couldn't pick up his scent after the parking lot. Wouldn't his scent bot be on the ground after he started riding anyway? I do wonder what makes a biker go that far down a ravine, it doesn't look like it was that technical of a path.

Word has it that guy was on disability from his job so who knows what kind of shape he was in.
