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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Great marked course clocked 60 miles at the finish, went on reserve at 45 came in with 60 and on fumes, was carrying a liter and wanted to go to dry almost went there. Always a good layout (LAMC typical) for a good cause ribboned and burned in trails connected with some dirt roads 99% on the north side of the "free" road. We did go through a couple of under paved road tunnels out at the eastern end of the loop . It was more hilly than I remember from the last time I rode there. Good stuff, private areas rarely ridden, no rangers, not many people, everyone going the same direction..not hot low 80s but yes it's dust season again, but with minimal numbers that were quickly spread out dust was never a factor.
 
For some reason, (well I did feel one big time cactus hit near the beginning of the ride*), my arms are thoroughly hacked from this ride....I mean more than usual a scraped mess. I'm thinking because it was more flowy=fast and overgrown from limited use and lots of tight new stuff. Regardless of that I must have been slolom skiing that loop!!!

* post ride post shower, my woman pulled many small spines out of the leading edge of my shoulder and upper arm and I pulled 1/2 inch fat one from my forearm of a different species.
