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

More proof that mountain biking and hiking are similar.
CONCORD, N.H. --Heart disease led to the death of a hiker who collapsed off
the south side of Mount Sunapee, the state Medical Examiner's determined
Monday.

D. L******* of Concord, 56, was an experienced hiker. He had trekked 4 1/2
miles on the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway Trail that snaked up the back side
of the 2,726-foot mountain on Sunday.

L******* collapsed just north of Lucia's Lookout, about 4.5 miles south of
the Newbury Trail trailhead near Lake Sunapee. The state Medical Examiner's
office determined that L******* died suddenly of complications from heart
disease.
