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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Kelly takes some Jersey boys to the promised land

Kyle Terry here on CH contacted me a month or so ago wanting to come out from Jersey and hit the good stuff. No problem, glad to host a ride / lend a bike. Yesterday was the day. After a week of 85 degree weather we had the only day of rain to ride in. Makes the trail conditions nice but no views. We ended up having a great ride and Kyle was blown away at the trails. I took them on the easier stuff which is still technical and they did great. You never know when you bring someone new to stuff that is semi technical but after the first few miles I could tell this was going to be good. I stopped and waited for them to make sure all was good early on and I could hear Kyle laughing out loud over the bike. Real good day of riding and the Jersey boys had their minds blown with the level of trails we have here. Fun stuff.

All loaded up with the loaner bike in tow (02 CR250)...

Was not a good picture day so thats all I got. Was a great day, minds blown, no issues, great trail, great guys. Made some new friends. All good.
 
Cool to see you yesterday morn Kelly!
The rain sure made things nice, it was ok I could not see through the clouds, I may have been more scared, haha, awesome day!

Do you know where this is?




 
Was good seeing you again to man, lets ride some time, I have extra bikes. Heard about your interesting day from Jake this morning. Wow.

I think so. I've ridden all that area many times. Several spots look like that. I told my guys we were riding the EZ stuff and there were like WTF? Did not want to take them to the crazy stuff as I had no idea how they rode. Good riders would have done fine. Glad you did not toss Shanes bike off that to no return :D
 
I now owe PC for saving my life! I was so puckered after that I rode pretty slow for awhile trying to get some confidence back. Even though, I would not trade one bit of that ride for nothing,

Nahhh, the problem is he was going too slow.

This is the section from a few weeks ago, this is how I ride this area just fast enough so you are not fighting the bike. Too slow and you are weaving back and forth, then the rear slides off...

Knevo was going too slow and he will tell you the same thing.


Later,
 
That was the third time in 10 years I have rode that goat trail, I have a severe fear of heights and I was going so slow right there I found the narrowest part of the trail. Jakes video shows the chainsaw but not the 100 pound backpack he is wearing

"Boat oars... what do we need those for"
RE: "Trust me dude, you'll be glad to have them when we get there."

I'd love to do that one day..... That place is freaking awesome looking I'll tell ya. A true Nirvana for off-road riding.

Definitely-seems one of those places that creates fantastic 1 of a kind memories and views- riding would be like experiencing Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon for the first time around every corner. In a constant awe...
 
Now to completely hijack Kelly's thread, I rode this through that section on Friday. To be completely honest it was probably the most terrifying experience of my life... It worked great! I was really happy with how it worked, this was the first time I used it.

This trail was washed out and I was told it needed a culvert.

Later,
 
Once you ride to the ~top of a hill \ mountain \ ridgeline, the terrain usually is gonna get steeper and steeper ... No more speed riding for me in these type places ...I just wanna make it back down to the flat-landers .. Here's another thing, watch the trails for animal tracks at the higher and more remote places ... They'll use the trails more than you might think..
