The RCMP continue to investigate the disappearance of a mountain biker who was reported missing in the Halifax area a year ago.

Marty Leger, 30, left his home to go biking in the Spider Lake area of Waverley on May 29, 2014. His family went out looking for him later that day when he failed to return home.

They found his vehicle at the end of Spider Lake Road and reported him missing that night.

Police officers, ground search and rescue crews, helicopters, as well as 250 soldiers, scoured about 65 square kilometres of dense woods and rough terrain in the days following Leger’s disappearance.

But they failed to locate Leger and the search was eventually called off.

At the time of his disappearance, Leger was described as roughly six feet tall, 260 pounds, with short hair, a beard and moustache.

Police are asking anyone cycling or hiking in the Spider Lake area to keep an eye out and report anything out of the ordinary.

Anyone with information on Leger’s disappearance is asked to contact police.
