Cyclist clinging to reeds, plucked to safety in remote Snowy River rescue

The cyclist was clinging to reeds in the middle of the Snowy River when the police air wing plucked them to safety. 

@ascentale @nickzoic @bikenite #BikeNite A3 never to the extent of "stuck in a river". Personal rescues have been the "can you come and pick me up, pump & spare tube are in the other bag, not the one I've got"

Acquaintances had an unplanned overnight stay in rainforest bushland when the track they followed from the map turned out to have completely overgrown & they ran out of daylight. SES hauled them out early the next morning, cold, wet, and covered in leeches

@ascentale @nickzoic @bikenite #BikeNite A3 addendum. I have at times thought I was treading (riding?) the wrong side of the line of my ability to get out of or through and started weighing up unpleasant contingencies
