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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
slightly different climate (tropics) but you can't go wrong with itWhat food and drink do you eat leading up to a race, on the day and why?
make sure you go to the toilet and dump the processed food in your body before you start on the bike.
Free shipping on my stuff
slightly different climate (tropics) but you can't go wrong with it
stay away from any alcohol 3 days before (dehydrating)
drink lots like tea/water/milk fizzy (lollypop water) drinks (but no cola (caffeine is not good))
on the day itself no citrus juices (acidic drinks create quicker muscle cramps)
if you can get coconuts that stuff is wonder juice from mother nature but for you easier to get is electrolyte juices like Gatorade and so
stay away from the energy drinks (acidic)
when the finish line is reached a beer is a very good replenishment of a lot of stuff you just sweated out
food wise
spaghetti the day before having a proper (but not lavish or fatty) breakfast
make sure you go to the toilet and dump the processed food in your body before you start on the bike.
good luck
