So much for the myth that mountain biking is good for your health!

Mountain biker found dead is identified

Officials with the Ventura County Medical Examiner-Coroner's Office
identified a mountain biker found dead this weekend as James Ross, 54,
of Ojai.

Officials completed an autopsy, but the cause of death is still under
investigation, Mike Feiler, senior deputy medical examiner, said
Sunday.

Natural causes are the most likely explanation because there was no
sign of trauma, Feiler said. Authorities withheld judgment until they
could reach the man's physicians for more information, Feiler said.

Ross was found near his mountain bike about half a mile up the Gridley
Road Trail in Ojai on Saturday.

Authorities believe that he died between 1 and 2:30 p.m., Feiler said.
