The Taylor Fire & The Crew’s That Kicked It’s Butt!!..


Most fire crews are heading home just days after delivering a knock-out blow to a wildfire that had sent smoke and ash into the Flagstaff area Sunday and Monday, but by Tuesday night was left smoldering.
The Taylor fire, reported at 6 a.m. Sunday, burned 3,545 acres in the Sycamore Canyon area, 22 miles southwest of Flagstaff. Fanned by gusting winds and a parched forest, the wildfire was likely crowning out Sunday before firefighters arrived, said Jeannie Gilbertson, spokeswoman for the Coconino National Forest.
But a relatively modest fire season so far allowed the Forest Service to throw plenty of resources at the Taylor fire Sunday and Monday.

The sheer number of available firefighters and resources, such as air attack, engines and water tenders, allowed firefighters to deliver a one-two punch.
"The turning point was we were able to order a lot of crews and they were able to get right in there and get that line punched in," Gilbertson said.
Aided by calmer winds Tuesday, firefighters had roughed out a containment line around 65 percent of the fire by nightfall.
At the height of efforts, 595 personnel were on the scene, but since Thursday, some crews have been sent home.
At fire camp located off Woody Mountain Road, the food caterer, showers and the fire information office will stay on through the weekend, as will a number of firefighters who will finish and reinforce the containment line, at 90 percent as of Friday, and begin mop-up duties.
Gilbertson said the Type II management team will handoff support duties to a Type III organization still on the scene managing crews and equipment.
The Peaks and Mormon Lake ranger districts of the Coconino N.F. will oversee the remainder of the incident.
Forest Service personnel will also be on hand to direct hunters in the area.
Hunting season began Friday, and while the East Pocket area was reopended, parts of area 6B were closed because of the fire.
Additionally, the Kelsey Springs, Taylor Cabin and Winter Cabin trails are closed.
Forest roads 231A, 231 and 538D will remain open for thru traffic only.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Flagstaff, Old-Fashioned Mountain Bike Race

So it’s that time of the year 8th Annual Absolute Bikes, St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance Flagstaff, Old-fashioned Mountain Bike Race August 22, 2009.

Decided that I mist last years race that I would come out this year and take photo’s of the race and the riders that I knew. I hear that there was all together 300 rides that turned out for the race.

That is a great thing since the proceeds of the race go to the Flagstaff Food Bank. They have had this race for the 8 years now and it is one fun race to be apart of.

This year I had few friends riding in the race Joe Beer, Simon, Paul, Carlo and their kids.

I also seen Jeff a Sales Rep from Electra Bikes: and Chris a Sales Rep from Shimano: both really great guy’s that I have known for a few years. There was also other Rep’s there from Specialized:, & Giant:.

Absolute Bikes of Flagstaff they did a great job in putting this ride together and getting all the riders to come out and ride. This years after ride ceremony was at Absolute Bikes Shop. I was going to go but there isn’t that much places to park.

I wish they would put the after ride ceremony back at Wheeler Park. There is more parking spaces and a big place for every one to come out. When it was at the park there were more venders and a Beer garden. They use to have a ride if you weren’t racing they had a tour ride that went on the trails north of town.

Well may be next years event it will be back to the same. I can’t wait till next years ride & I hope to see you all at the 9th Annual Absolute Bikes Race.
