Say what you will, but that's a class act on their part.

Sweet. I think the last time there was a bike race on Flag was the ITT in the 1984 Coors Classic. Let the pukefest begin!

"A dump truck hauling a trailer with a small excavator hit the cyclist, who was coming down Lefthand, when the driver turned left onto Olde Stage, Cobler said. The cyclist was killed."

Tragic accident...so sorry to all involved...the article would suggest the driver turned in front of or into Mr. Howrey...not much room to bail out...

Sad day for several families...let's try and be humane in our comments.

Excellent points, Ski. A little common sense goes a long way when driving in the canyon.

"The majority of the costs are paid for by the (Bureau of Land Management), the Forest Service and (the Federal Emergency Management Agency)," Rasker told the Camera earlier this fall. "Only 2 percent of all homes in the West are in the wildland-urban interface. It's not most of us -- it's a handful of people. But the cost of defending those homes is paid by the federal taxpayers at large. ... There ought to be a cost disincentive that reflects the true cost of living there."

If I choose to build a home in a known flood-plain, I am forced to buy flood insurance. That covers my losses, but it does not pay for flood mitigation work. Fire insurance is included in *most* home owners policies. It covers your losses, but not the cost of fighting the fire or mitigation work. The issue here is who is responsible for the costs incurred to fight fires and mitigate their effects. The answer is ALL OF US. That's why we pay taxes. We don't get to vote on how our money is spent...at least at the federal level.

I think if you read the story the gist is the role corruption and crappy construction play in exacerbating the death toll in a disaster such as this.
