Thanks Eraser. I don't know the cyclist at all and am just trying to help as I can't help search in person.

I heard that local search and rescue expert Jack Haskins is now involved and has managed to get Co-Ords from the phone Brett was caring, and was on his way there at 8:30pm

Thanks Spoke101. Please keep us updated.

Wow that is scary, hope he is ok.

[King_Crispy]

Hope he is found and ok.

Yoh, scariest thought being "lost in the woods", hope he gets found safe and sound.

Was he riding in his own?

An update is that Brett has been in contact with his wife so is ok but still missing. He must be disorientated but they are hopefull he will be found soon as his aproximate position is known. Tomorows ride is still on untill further notice.

Good to hear!

[Tumbleweed]

Any idea what happened? Crash? Medical condition?

[Vetseun]

Hectic. Glad to hear he has been found

We lost two riders in the bush on the Kalchal once.Only found them at 8.30 at night

Serious business getting lost...especially in extreme weather.Hope the guy is ok.I wonder if there is some kind of beacon one can get like they use on yachts

[Jigghead]

Maybe a good idea if one is using a GPS cycle computer or GPS enabled phone, when riding an area on your own, perhaps take note of your position or set up a way point or something similar in order to find your way home in the event of becoming lost?

 

Glad he's found!
