Cyclist Rescued From Tumalo Area

Crews had to help a lost biker in the Tumalo Falls area. Deputies with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office and the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue were dispatched to a report of a lost mountain biker in the area of the flagline mountain bike trail near the Bend Watershed yesterday. Werner had started his mountain bike trip earlier in the day from the Tumalo falls trailhead in plans of doing a loop on the Flagline Trail and eventually ending up back at the Tumalo Falls trailhead. As he was traveling east on the Flagline trail north of Tumalo Mountain he lost the trail and ended up going downhill into the Bridge Creek drainage of the Bend Watershed. Once Werner realized he was lost he called 911 at which time his GPS location was transmitted to the Deschutes County Dispatch center.
