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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ha. Looks like everyone has met the sheep!

Hell no I dont know where I'm going! Luckily my friend Brian did or we'd probably be living out there right now.
I love solo riding and I do it quite often, but I would pass on a solo ride out there. It's too big and desolate for my liking and one misstep could make for a very bad day.

I do recommended you grab a buddy and check it out though. I have the gpx file from my Garmin I could send you and/or I could get you in touch with my buddy Brian. I also have a bunch of gpx files for the mammoth area too. Just let me know....

Here's a snapshot of our route that day. You can see the Bishop airport in the bottom left of the screen, so where we staged is just minutes from town.

There's also a bunch of fun single track just west of Bishop in the cascade foothills. I forget the name of the hills, but they're the ones you access off Round Valley Rd. maybe 10 miles from town. I would ride here solo as its much less elevation and much closer to civilization and you could easily walk out if need be. The whites are huge and it would be real easy to lose your bearings and walk the wrong direction. That aint gonna happen in these foothills as you have the Sierra's to the S and W and Hwy 395 to the N and E and there's no 3k' deep valleys to block your views. Be safe if you go and let me know if you want those gps tracks.

Still have those GPS tracks. Trying to get some education on where the good stuff is so myself and the fam can plan some memorable rides together. Thanks!
 
I probably do. I lost my hard drive a few weeks ago, but was able to recover almost all of it.
What are you looking for? Around Mammoth, the whites or sweetwaters?

Mostly around Mammoth as it will be closer to home base. Thanks!
