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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

It is a stunning photo, for sure, but it is turned a bit sideways. I saw video footage and it isn't quite as death-defying as it looks
Forget Nevada...I want to go ride the Atacama Desert!!

It's interesting to me that we get to see even more of the planet through this race.
Safer for the racers too.
Aint the same as the Morocon desert though and man, some of the orrigianl course was simply mind blowing georgaphy.
Where's Ekim Yak- he should be all over this thread!

Maybe that's what the Antofogasta native meant when he said "...close to the reality...maybe have a little efect (sic)..."
Still incredibly scary and beautiful! I'd be hosting a brick factory in my riding pants, for sure, if I had to ride down and then up that on a bike

Now those pictures do justice to this race ! 
Unlike the Versus TV coverage which is the worst Coverage in the history of forever
Excellent find, thanks for sharing Kelly I’m surprised they didn’t have a picture of Robby Gordon clearing the start podium in flight with his Hummer…

Just a guess, but I'm thinking he's bumming big-time that he's not there.
This race coverage is exposing an incredibly beautiful part of the world, for sure. I've always known Chile would be somewhere I'd want to go, but now I'm thinking it could be somewhere I might really end up going some day. Easier to get to than Morocco, for sure. Shoot, I could ride there
