• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

25hrs of FUN

Heading out to the infamous Starvation Ridge 25hr race. Starts 9 Sat and ends 9 Sun. Good times. Got the WR125 setup for the day and the WXC250 setup for the night with a trailtech X2 headlight and MR16 helmet lights. Got grip heaters and elephant ears installed. This si going to be fun. I'm riding sweep this year as i did it last year and had a blast as you get to ride WAY more than when you race. Fun to help people out and watch people out on the course dice it up. Should be great conditions this year.

track from the air. About 13 miles I think.

For the 25 hour they add about 10 miles of grass track! :thumbsup:

Can't wait, this is my first year racing it. :eek:

Later,
 
I really would like to make it to that race someday. Looks like lots of fun.

Hey Fitness, if you are serious about putting together that husky ride sometime next fall you should consider having it there at the starvation 24 hour race. It could be a Husky take over!!
 
what an awesome weekend. Perfect conditions, great friends, great racing. there was one huge bummer in that a guy got killed, crashed and crushed his chest. Very sad for all.

Shotgunscott and crew (with 2 huskys on the team) got an unofficial 1st place. Some real fast guys in that crew.

as usual it was fast and rough. Choppy and gets a lot worse over the 25 hours to the point of brutal. this year there was a lot of fresh new grass track. The whole thing was 25 miles a loop. Fast teams were running 50-57 minutes a lap. Most were more like 58-65 a lap.

The gratuitous WR125 pic :D not the right tool for the job but fun all the same. 450 4 strokes rule here.

The Man! :thumbsup: I am glad you stopped for a fellow rider down even if it cost you the race.

Later,
 
Congrats you guy!!! :cheers:

If you people would stop spinning your rear tires the track would have been smoother :p

Who is this?

This one certainly deserves to be made into a motivational poster :lol:

First one is Shotgunscott and his daughter being goofy, next is my WXC250 which ran perfect for 2.5 miles before spinning the flywheel weight (I think) and going out of time. Last one is one of Jakes friends, all of Jakes friends look like that after some time. :lol:
 
So Jakes friends get a good laugh! Or constipated? :p

Looks like you fine people have a good time up there :cheers:
 
Boy, that stuff looks just perfect.:thumbsup: I'm going bonkers down here in the dust waiting for some rain, mud and water puddles. Some of these guys ride write ups talk about a few inches of rain on a particular day. Sometimes we don't even get a few inches of rain in an annual season.:thumbsdown:

Yeah but unfortunately all the good ride areas will look like this in a few weeks (but with 3 more feet on top that) and we ether drive to far to ride (3 hours) or we go skiing.

That in the picture looks just fine. I've ridden in enough snow to know that by the time you reach about ten inches of packed snow, it isn't any fun anymore, the front wheel looks like a big powdered sugar donut and quits turning (at least with regular hard terrain tires).:doh:

To the left in that picture is a 100+ foot drop.

Snow is not a welcome sight in that riding area... :eek:

Great pictures!:thumbsup: I heard that the Iron Woman got 7th overall!

7th in class i believe. Top woman. Did more laps than some teams and covered 300 miles. She is a trooper for sure. :thumbsup:
 
Two things about the vids, One, Margie is a WAY better rider now and those sections would not even phase her, two, anything labeled Woodland trails or Castle rock by Jake it slick snot on ice. Go Margie.
 
For sure, those were showing her never give up attitude. And they are much harder than they look. :D
