It didn’t matter that the skies were filling with smoke for this group of cyclists in Ashland, because they had a mission: to bring food and water to people in Talent and Phoenix who are running low.
Whatever reason they had, it wasn’t important. These cyclists were there to help. Among them was Nick David, who grew up in Talent but now lives in Ashland. He rode a large cargo bike carrying gallons of water, including a 5-gallon bottle strapped into a child’s seat. But that morning, he was having trouble giving it away.
Even so, almost everyone appreciated this small bit of kindness. David stops at a home in Talent where a woman opens the door. Susan Silva says her daughter recently brought in water from a back road, so she was set. But she thanks David and begins to cry. “It’s often several months later that it really hits people,” Bandoroff says. “Many people do what they need to do to meet immediate survival needs, because that’s what’s important — taking care of your children and things like that — but after that’s done and it settles in, it’s a few months out.”“I saw a guy, he said, ‘I hate to say this, but we’re kind of used to this,’” Bandoroff recalls. “But, you’re used to smoke, not having your community members wiped out like this.
