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.

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

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!
