Like, completely lost?
Must have snapped somewhere on a fast rocky descent today. Didn't feel it or hear it.
Walked all the way back up to find it and no sign at all. I think the pixies had it.
It was a long walk back to the van.
No.
I'm so slow that once than chain is detached I can usually can spot it trying to pass me

Seen a guy at Cambusbarron yesterday had the same fate,
Yep. Found it again though, sans powerlink 🙁
Lost one on a practice run at Aston hill last year, couldn't find it trudging back up so I had to beg for someone's cast off from the bin to do my race runs...
Last time my chain snapped, I went over the bars, slamming crown jewels on stem as I went. I noticed that.
Ask Maximusmountain about ssuk last year....
I lost a rear mech at Lee Quarry once, a crunch behind me & my rear wheel locked up. Chain looked like a DNA helix & I never found the mech, strange thing was that I was nowhere near any rocks so still can't figure out what happened or where it went!
Long walk back up the hill to Rochdale..
Yep, on the descent of llanberis path on snowdon. Actually made the bike feel pretty good until I needed to pedal again
Exactly this happened to a mate in the alps last summer. He only noticed at the bottom of a long descent, and was so surprised he fell over clipped in 😀
I have gone to a ride 80 miles from my house , paid for parking and then discovered there was no chain on my own bike as i cleaned it and did not replace it ..FACEPALM
I learnt two lessons
1. Always ride your bike to the car
2.when lowey says dont worry i wont tell the forum its a LIE.
Yep - exact same thing happened to me earlier this year.
Descending quite a fast section. Got to bottom and went to start pedaling - thought I was spinning out Then noticed chain gone. Walked back up and searched for quite awhile .... pushed bike home.
