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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Big Bear with the a good MAP is perfect for Adventure Bike's all summer long :D
Last Year most of the easy route consisted of forest service roads and jeeps tails with bouncing in and out of single track sections. A few Rocky Hill Climbs that have Bypass routes.
Hard route Riders will enjoy Black Diamond and Double Black Diamond trails :thumbsup:
I would recommend anyone considering this years ride to email the group if you have concerns since I have no involvement in that club's activities. ;)
 
I'm REALLY hoping to go on some of these rides now that I have a dual-sport (te310). However, I;m still waiting to get my brand-new bike back from the shop with the starting issues hopefully resolved:(. One thing I'm seeing is that you're supposed to have your own gps? I saw a thread here from '09 it looked like, there might be newer info out now? Any recommendations on the best set-up for this? I definetely intend to do mostly hard-core trail riding so it would have to be rugged. Maybe this isn't the right thread to post this in....?,

Yes you need a GPS. This year the ride is GPS only(No Roll Charts). The Garmin 76 and 78 seem to be the most popular.

Thanks for the info! Since these are "organised" rides, do they do any kind of sweep or are you on your own if you have any trouble?

I use Voyager GPS, Works Great for following tracks durring dualsport events. No real Base Map unless you make your own. :D

Setup for hard routes, Extra Heavy Duty Tubes or 6PLY Tires will help keep you rolling :thumbsup:

Some other GPS opinions.
