Sorry to report that a mountain biker was found dead yesterday afternoon on the west loop of the Rocky Point Mountain Bike Trail on Long Island. He was young, 49 I think, and left behind a wife a children. So unfortunate how things can change so quickly.

No known cause of death has been determined yet but foul play has been ruled out. It was likely a medical condition or possible injuries from a crash. The mountain biker who found the departed believed that a broken neck may have been the cause but that has not been confirmed yet.

Rich Olsen was his name and he was riding a single speed mountain bike, solo. He was dedicated to trail maintenance and had adopted various sections of trails to maintain on Long Island.

Please be careful.

A tragedy for all of his friends and loved ones. This can happen to any of us on just about any trip we do, so have fun, but be careful out there...
