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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

A little dualsport ride before winter came.

Here is a short but fun ride before winter came. I rode some highway to some dirt roads to get some single track time in.

It's hard to see but theirs a river down there. It's the brown coffee color between the trees.

Another view to try and gauge slope angle. Wouldn't want to go over the edge here...

After riding for a while I came across this. No way around but I didn't want to go back. The culvert washed out and apart.

Theirs always a way around! It might not look like much in the picture but it took me almost 20 minutes to get around this. Between the rocks on the other side, the down trees and narrowness of the culvert hanging my bike up, it was up to me lifting it over everything.

Thats all the pics I have. I hope next summer we can get in some real miles and some overnighters with the bears and all.
 
Where was that? In MN or WI? It always is a bit more difficult when you are out in the middle of no where and attempting something like you did.
