And a lovely accessory it is

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Bad News/Good news: Bad News we will not make it to Stonyford on Sunday to ride the trails with all of you, Good News we now plan on riding over to Stonyford on these beauties
Things with the old side job have changed and more than likely we will not be getting back home until early Sunday morning. So we are now planning on cruising over on the 630s and hopefully be able to meet up with you guys and hang out a little.

Hello everyone ! Long time no see (type), I ran into MNB the other day at Metcalf rd and he reminded me of Cafe Husky and mentioned that there is going to be a get together soon ! I have to work that Saturday night in Walnut Creek, its too late for me to bail out of work but not too late to load up my junk and head up there Saturday night and get some Stony action Sunday ! Just need to get the OK from my better half, which should'nt be a problem. Is there gonna be any kind of organized ride on Sunday ? I'm a good sweeper
Sounds like good news to me

I'm planning on getting up there early Friday morning and leaving Saturday night. Never camped at that spot..... so if you see somebody driving circles in a white rover... flag me down!
Is anyone bringing a grill? I seemed to have misplaced mine. Camping isnt camping without brauts!

It looks like I'm in ! Will be bringing my wife and son to tag along, as well as for moral support ! My job that was scheduled for Saturday night has been postponed .......Yay !!! Now my plan is to leave late Saturday morning and arrive in the late afternoon / early evening. What do I need to bring for food / drink ? Or are we all gonna be self-contained. I know that Stony does NOT have any utilities or water so I'm gonna bring water, smokey joe bbq, camp stove etc...possibly some cervesas for after riding of course ! I am jonesing to ride one of them WR one two fives, I will pay a small fee if necessary to try one, even if its just up/down the fire road.
Oh...you'll pay a small fee, alright...just like the rest of us have
The fee, as you will probably soon find out, is exactly the price of a new WR125. Don't ride one if you ain't ready to buy one
I'll have my WR144 and the GG250 to ride so you can take mine for a spin if you like. The first hit is free
Glad you're able to make it for more than one day, and being able to bring your family is way cool!
Just bring whatever food/drink/supplies you think you'll need, as it's every man for himself
I do have a ginormous bag of tortilla chips and lots of salsa and guacamole
I'll try to bring as much water as I can, and I'll be bringing some firewood, too. I'll probably throw Eric's little orange Husky on the trailer, too, as there is a ton of firewood to be had out there.

Right on, CJ! Glad you're able to make it!

Whoa! That was incredibly cool! I'd love to go there! What a great place for a photo shoot
Huskyness is sorta next to Godliness so they look perfectly at home there
I'll bring supplies for myself and a bit more. In addition I am sure that there will be my camp stove & grill will be accessible any time.
I will probably bring enough coffee for whoever wants it.
I will be leaving late morning, and arrive tomorrow after noon.

I plan on riding Middle Creek Sunday and with the way my rides go I'll probably end up in Stony, maybe will cross paths.
The weather says 70% chance of rain for SundayGonna check it again Saturday and hope for the best. If it looks like rain, I'm gonna bail.
Geez...a little rain will go a long way towards making the rides so much more enjoyable for everyone! No dust is great when there are more than 2 riders on a ride together. I hope you reconsider. At least come Sunday and ride! I totally understand not wanting to drag the family on a camping trip in the rain. For me personally, though, I'd happily sleep in a wet tent (and I have done that very thing on many occasions) if it meant better riding conditions in the morning
