Maybe he just gave up on trying for that elusive 1hr11min 6mTT time?

Sorry, poor taste, but couldnt resist....
 
There is zero humor in death. There is no joy to be found in a fellow human being feeling so lost, alone, hopeless, depressed, fearful, etc. that they feel their own life must be taken to escape the agony of their very existence regardless of circumstance.

I hope you found peace.

Well said !!
 
You know, I don't know if this makes me a bad person or not, but the first thing that would enter my mind if I came upon a body like that would be whether or not I should report it or let someone else do it. I mean, it would have just killed my ride to have to get all caught up in the police stuff and all that. And no sense in two deaths, right? And besides, I'd have to go all .. the ... way ... baaaaaaaack to my car and get my phone and in order to dial my phone, I'd have to take off my gloves and, you know, it's kind of cold right now. It's all just a level of effort I'm just not comfortable with .... so .... yeahhhhhhh .... I'm pretty sure I'd just pass by and pretend not to notice. He'll be just as dead when the next person comes along.

I'm pretty sure I'm not a good person.

Wow..
I feel kind of sick to my stomach thinking that someone could ride past a dead human being and just blow it off. That speaks volumes of an indifference to life.

Wow. I feel pretty lousy about my last post reading the ones directly above it now ... in my defense, I did admit to being a bad person. But let's go ahead and change that there "bad" to "terrible", mmm-kay? 😱

that is messed up if is in a state park or something...

however, when I used to build trails (dirt jumps), we wondered many a time if we would dig up a body, would be tell anyone becauase the 100's of hours we put into the place on private property would surely be plowed if the police came in. Thankfully, we never had to answer the question.

this may be true for the real victims, those left behind. However, as someone that works with both, there sure is humor in the most morbid of situations.

I ... ehhhh .... hope so ???

You know, funny thing about involvement, though -- it can bite you on the a$$. As most people who live around Philly are aware, there's been a rapist on the loose in the area around Wissahickon for years. He isn't the most prolific rapist out there, but he's comitted like three or four in the park over the past 10 years. I once stopped to tell a woman running alone at 10:00 at night that she should probably not be there alone, and she started to scream at the top of her lungs that I was attacking her. I just took off. I mean, I was in full bike kit riding on a trail with a light and everything, and she thinks I did all that just to go out and hunt her down, and while I was at it, before I actually attacked, I'd go ahead and warn her about it. Brilliant. Since then, I'll passpeople by and maybe yell something back after I'm beyond them and heading away. But I'll be damned if I'm taking a charge for trying to be a nice guy. If she's stupid enough to run alone in a secluded park at 10 at night, she's not going to listen anyway.
 
I may have a distorted view on this, and why I see no humor in this. When I was a kid, the family went to Maine for a vacation. While driving over a bridge in Portland, I saw a Police officer grab a woman and save her as she was about to leap off. As we drove by I saw her face and her expression is burned into my memory....lost soul.

Is it that hard to tell this was a joke? 1 vote lock the thread before it gets out of hand
 
personally, I feel badly for the family and friends of this person. and for the unfortunate soul that came across this.

...as for the person who [presumably] took their own life...just sad that someone would feel that this was their only option.

One day while riding alone in Allamuchy I came across about 20 turkey vultures gathering about 100 ft off the trail. Naturally repulsed by these creatures, I got out of there quickly.

However, about a minute later I got to thinking, "what can attract all those vultures". I went back an investigated, steeling myself for something bad. Luckily it was only a dead deer. It would have really bothered me if I did discover someone in there.

In related news: Woman Hiker Found Dead. This poor woman was snowshoeing in Rockland Lake State Park.
