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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Baja Enduro Club Hard Trail Ride 6APR2019

Baja Enduro Club on FB some section fotos are posted , fails too. This is all on private land just south of Tecate BC Mexico and is planned to be a 40 mile loop.
Natural and man made sections from what I know about this ride. Cool stuff includes wooden bridges to go over cattle fencing. The last one they did I damaged my ribs and abandoned the course. With my TX300 working soooo well now I hope to do all the sections and not use any of the "Hello Kitty" bypasses. Plan is to ride the transfers easy and power up into trials mode for the hard stuff.
Fotos here are from the club crew setting up and testing the course.

My back issue hit me early and my left leg was cramped and somewhat useless within a 1/2 hour. I rode mostly hard route bypasses then stopped and abandoned at the 1/2 way break point. Age and condition are fine as are my skills...this physical nerve issue is killing my stoke!! Time for a break after 3 straight weekends of Baja single track.
photos and video to follow. I have seen some H cam of sections that I did do , so at least there is some record of my ride.....lots of photos of everyone else's ride!!
Of note we had Peter Weiss (DEN) a top ten world class extreme enduro rider and Red Bull Romaniacs course marshal with us on this ride, he will be doing some rider camps while he is here. He's one of the riders that are a little closer to us than Graham Jarvis....but still way out of our league as far as skill and competition goes.
more to come. that canyon with guys in it (see above) , I did ride that it was super cool, lots of roots rocks mud and wet stuff throughout.
 
Looks like a great time. Bummer about your back giving you fits!
Just finishing prepping the new 300i before heading to CO and UT at the end of next week for my desert fix!
Sloppy and snotty here in NH as Mud season is in full swing!
 
I guess I'm more OK than not or what I feel , I did do 90% of the stuff on the video that our younger (stronger in better shape) crew member did and video captured on his KYB suspended Beta 250RR, before I retired at the mid ride lunch break. I actually did well in the wet rocky stream beds by doing all my peg (gummy rear tire) loading with my right leg (the good side). But I will add that that I am both surprised and proud of how fast some of our crew have raised their game level. As you see as far as flow and momentum go bottle necks were a big part of those first hard sections. everything after the old house I did not do lunch was a stop just before going into the old house.
