That's the official story anyway. I suspect it may have more to do with
him passing through an area well known for cheeses, sausages and
beer... you know how it is with those English guys, especially when on
holiday.

Oregon State Police and Tillamook County Sheriff's
Office are seeking the public's help in locating a missing England-area
man who was reportedly cycling from Port Angeles, Washington to San
Diego, California and was believed to have been in the Tillamook County
area when last heard from April 30th.
Photographs of recently purchased bicycling
equipment and gear, as well as photographs of the missing man are being
provided to help locate him. Anyone with information or who may have
seen the man during the period described below is asked to contact
Oregon State Police Northern Command Center dispatch at 800-452-7888.
According to investigators, CLIVE LESLIE RUDDLE,
age 49, from Aldbourne, Wiltshire, England was last heard from by his
wife via email on April 30, 2007. According to the email, RUDDLE
indicated he was in the Tillamook County area. Investigators believe
RUDDLE, who is described as an experienced rider in good condition, was
to be riding along Highway 101 down the Oregon coast into California
and was reported to be staying overnight in State Parks along his route.
RUDDLE flew into Seattle, Washington on April 19th
for a planned cycling trip along the West Coast until he was to arrive
in San Diego, California around June 6th. He had planned on traveling
to Vancouver, British Columbia with the below purchased equipment for
his trip, but he was unable to transport the bicycle on the train
without disassembling it so he decided to leave from Port Angeles. He
was expecting to arrive in Eureka, California last Sunday, May 6th, but
did not arrive.
Investigators have also learned that on April 19th,
RUDDLE went to the Port Angeles, Washington-area REI store and
purchased new cycling and camping equipment for his trip including the
following:
* a new coffee-colored NOVARA RANDONEE bicycle (see
photograph)
* two (2) ORTLIEB Backroller Pannier saddlebags, black
in color, that were placed on the rear of the bicycle (see photograph)
* two (2) ORTLIEB Backroller Pannier saddlebags,
yellow in color, that were placed on the front of the bicycle (see
photograph of black style)
* one (1) charcoal grey colored "BMX style" helmet
with orange straps (see photo style)
* a yellow cycling jacket
* a white with green and orange accents "quarter dome"
two-person tent
* an REI "Kilo" sleeping bag, yellow in color
RUDDLE is described as a white male, 6' tall, 180
pounds, with grey receding hair, and blue eyes. He has a scar on his
left torso side. According to his wife, he "doesn't usually have a
moustache but he may have grown one during the trip. He (also) hates
shaving and may have a bit of a beard."
RUDDLE is also reportedly in possession of an
international cellular phone but has not used it since the April 30th
email was sent. He also has a United Kingdom issued passport.
RUDDLE has been entered into a national computer
database as a missing person.
Anyone with information related to this missing
person case is asked to contact Oregon State Police Northern Command
Center at 800-452-7888.
