Jigghead Posted September 8, 2014 Share 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! Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/142918-pls-help-search-for-missing-pmb-cyclist/#findComment-2415774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
