• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

2 hours, 4 miles, 35 plus switchbacks

Got my ass kicked this weekend. Did a trail i have been meaning to get to for a few years. STEEP, technical, and over 35 switchbacks up a lava shoot. Grown over as I don't think many others want to ride bikes on it. I don't care to do it again but glad to say I have ridden it. One of the single hardest hills i have done ever.

As usual pix make it look flat in comparison to real life. Straight up, super tight switchbacks, grown over trail that not one has ridden this year or probably several years. Come on out, I'll show you where it is and wait for you at the far end :D

Hit 720 / expand.

the trail is smooth but the switchbacks are so tight you ride 30 feet, get off and lift the rear end around repeat for hours.

Got an even older one this weekend an LOVE riding it too, what a sweet freaking motor (WR400)...

Dude that's an old no longer used goat trail; you guys are nuts. What did you do slide down the other side to get back down to earth. Nice pics K.

It is actually a trail, on a map. Does not get ridden much and now i know why. :D
 
So is this state land, private land, or forest company land you guys ride on? Either way you end up riding some wild land and thanks for posting up the pics.

Ya really Kelly with all the bike you have I can't believe you still don't have one.

Great climb.:thumbsup: Did you take any video? Last good mountain climb we did every time you stopped the mosquito would try and suck you dry.
And the 4 Lt. of water I took wasn't nearly enough.:doh:
