As it says in the title: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-11361524A 54-year-old man has collapsed and died when mountain biking along a popular forest track in Snowdonia. Hopefully it was nobody off the forum  |

According to the leader today his name is David Evans, he hails from Flint and used to be a teacher at a school in Queensferry... My only hope is that it was a health issue and not a trail issue  |

My only hope is that it was a health issue and not a trail issue "The 54-year-old man, who has not been named, suffered chest pains while climbing a steep slope with his brother and a friend." I don't think that's the sort of 'trail issue' you were thinking about  |

This is, of course, very sad news - particular for the rider's friends and family.
However, on a more positive note, its a good way to go, doing something you (presumably) really enjoy.
