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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Mudslinger Enduro

I've never ridden it, but it has quite the reputation. Then to rachet it up, they have the "Hell in the Hills" version they run every few years. Finisher rate is pretty low those years.
 
ive ridden it,tough as advertised,they have alot of hills,and cant do much if the weather doesnt cooperate..we were waiting for keytime in 2007..started downpouring right before we took off:( best finish was a 7th o/a and i houred out at the end..got my pic on the cover of trailrider going up the ledges that year..raced it the next year on my txc and finished inside the top 15 and didnt hour out..there is a great video of the ledges section,but its offline and i cant find it,theres one from last year,but it was dry!!

raced it 2 times. 1st time tab that holds rear brake piston broke and had no rear brakes from mil 3.2 onward. Hills were a challenge for sure. Houred out just before last check.

2nd time riding great then got real hot.....seeing spots and no strength...stopped to cool 5 times of so after just falling over in tough stuff. Had zero energy. houred out just before last check again. At Van, buddy who crashed out earlier in the rocks (vague statement for this race! LOL) said I looked like S@#t. felt it and when home took temp and it was a 102.7. Wonder why I rode like poop.

It is a tough one for sure.

2009 was a deluge of rain also. uphills looked like 2 ft wide streams!
