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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

nice video from National Hare n Hound

Wow, pretty much the complete opposite of what we ride. That does not look fun to me at all. Actually the rocky areas where everyone is bottlenecked looked like the best part to me :D I like technical and suck at pinning it across nothingness. Thanks for sharing.

Motosportz,
this is how (to) I survived doing those races last year.........DONT ever pin it in the (sick) fast stuff, its way outside the comfort zone (mine anyway), just cruise (not slow but) at good safe pace, then use the conserved energy to dig deep and hammer through the ugly sections and never look at the carnage riders just push and keep on plugging away, those dez guys are super fast in the open stuff, but most of the amateur riders struggle in the tough stuff, and just finishing the entire course of those H&Hs is good enough to score some strong points especially in the lesser classes ( 40B weekend warrior class for my example).
For all, no BS, the Nat H&Hs are brutal (trust me on this) in the later sections of the races, they are a real test, and a really great adventure to test yourself against tough terrain for long hours in the saddle. You get a great feeling crossing the checkers at the end. PS and I cant think of a better bike than a HUSKY to do them on!!! (3 for 3 in 09)!!
 
Those few short easy and fast looking sections are few Trust me Desert racing like the Nationals are alot slower then you think
This race was 80 miles long and it took me 4 hours I finished 3 rd in class with no down time so do the math other then the start speeds are slow.
You want to go fast race Baja and Best in the Desert where winning speeds average close to 60 mph .
We had over 400 start and almost 100 dnfs so they are tuff
This short video shows a good cross section of what we do but is is harder then it looks .

For what it is worth if you look at the very begining of the video
You will see me on my 125 lined up next to Curt Cassille and Destry Abbott
But when the banner drop they left me behind
 
nice vid ....
the open stuff looked fun to me ...
the start looked way fun ....
although at 47 I'd take the robertaccio approach ...
save it for the nasty stuff ....
