A cyclist apparently lost control of his bike on a steep mountain road Sunday and plunged to his death 250 feet down an embankment into San Dimas Reservoir.

A volunteer search and rescue team attached to the San Dimas sheriff's station assisted in recovering the body from a dry area of the reservoir, said Sgt. Raymond Roth.

They told me at work it was a roadie. But that's second hand. I sure feel sorry for him and his family.
