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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Chinahat ISDE report...

Mousses------just a "few" guys use them and they have a few proven world championships while riding on them.

PS it looks alot like the terrain at the SoCal Gorman 2 day qualifier.

No, no , not the mousse vs tubliss debate. My answer is to run too much air, but Im slow so wadda I know.

Yes, generally our sage are a bit closer together, but otherwise quite similar terrain.

I have ridden Gorman, kinda similar but you get into the mountains / hills and it is pine trees and slower tighter stuff. Not tight but not 6th pinned ether.
 
Unofficial results are out. I beat Blake so that all I care about :>) He was right there though. I was 82 out of about 250 OA and he was 100. We had route points that could have been avoided. That would have put me 40 overall. Had I had higher gearing and better setup I guess I could have placed about 35th. I would have been real happy with that. This was a good reminder ride for ISDE's and Idaho City. Don't blow checks and set my bike up right. Good times.
 
I thought there was 350 riders OA... And I didn't see a column that said where we placed overall, did they not compute this?

I am really surprised how quickly the results came out! I'm very stoked to have a silver medal. Last two ISDE's I did amateur, and got bronze both times...

NM, see the overall scores now.. Didn't see them on my tiny phone screen... But I still thought they registered up to 350 riders?

There's alot to racing other than just twisting the throttle ... Lots of events you gotta ~correctly deal with on the fly in the race if you are gonna try to score well ... These guys that can win here constantly, my hat is off to them as well as the consistent finishers because it ain't as easy as it looks or sounds ...Always a good time for sure ...:)
 
How come this isn't a real Qualifier? I miss the old days when there was a National Reliability Series, with more than two ISDE Qualifiers. Interesting how the Qualifier Format has survived out west, more than in the East. My club ran two ISDE Qualifiers back 20 years ago, but bring it up now and people roll their eyes.... too much work! They don't want to do an actual Qualifier or an event using the format. Even club members who rode the ISDE aren't interested..... Seems strange.

This is just a locaL ISDE but a very popular one. There is actually like three ISDEs here to ride. Idaho is a Qualifier with all the pros and LOI. I love this format, super long fast trail ride with a race mixed in and lots of rules to follow and prep to do. You have to pay attention, be ready, not make mistakes and ride well top place. Organization and stamina it as important as all out speed.
 
Im so freaking pumped for the Devils Head ISDE this year... I'll be in my element, riding on home turf, where a lot of guys will be sucking wind (like I did last race).

Steep hills, mud, trees, roots....yes, you are welcome to them.:thumbsup:

I prefer the dust and junipers myself. Different strokes for different folks.

I dont know why Lobos doesnt turn it into a regular qualifier, but it is a screaming success as currently run so they dont have much impetus to change it. Permit limit is 350 riders and they had that many sign up this year, and were often over subscribed when the economy was hot.
 
Just wanted you all to know that there is proof I was hard at work so everyone else could ride. Im on the right, Mark my brother, and fast guy, in the red shirt buying an ATV permit.

I was thinking the same thing when you were talking about the dust and the real fast guys riding by feel.
