Missing Berkeley cyclist might have had impaired judgment from fasting
"Mr. Martin is an accomplished, experienced cyclist and one of the many challenges in this investigation is determining what route he may have taken of so many that are possible in the Berkeley, Oakland, East Bay Regional Parks and Contra Costa geographical areas," said Sgt. Mary Kusmiss
Another cyclist found Martin's cellphone on Tunnel Road near the Fire Storm Memorial Garden in Oakland on Saturday and called his girlfriend from the phone to return it
Although he was an experienced cyclist, he may have been riding in steep terrain with diminished physical strength and impaired judgment," a news Martin has family in Florida, is an active member of University Lutheran Chapel in Berkeley and works at a UC Berkeley lab, police and friends said
"Friends and neighbors are highly concerned for Mike because he had been researching juice diets and fasting, and may have been malnourished
