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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Hi jase1,
Not sure what picture you are trying to show, but if you can view "just" a picture, as opposed to an album, set of pictures or website, then your pictures should show up in the img tags.
Otherwise if you are trying to share a website, maybe just post a link?

Rode Hunter lake trail N. of Reno, we had snow too...
Was a bit rocky on the way upp but then...
Looking down on Reno, NV...
That's a nice stream, oh wait its the trail...
Clutch cable snapped right after this moment, wet rocky trail, downhill, no clutch... fun times
I'm new to this camera thing and i ride solo most of the time, there are so many places to ride here hope to get more beautiful pics in the future.

Wow! That looks really cool! We have some old trail tunnels and snow sheds here in the Sierra up near Donner Lake that I'd like to check out some day.

These pics were taken at the Stumpjumper Enduro in Warren Grove, NJ last weekend. Perfect weather, beautiful changing foliage, MASSIVE soft sand whoops in the first half, fast, flowing trail in the second half. It was a great wrap-up to the 2010 ECEA Enduro series. The 125 was absolutely ripping.

Did you loose your right footpeg
This weekend I entered and finished my first harescramble. I've been to Carnegie here in the Bay Area 3 times to get my feet wet. Went to Metcalf once. Stayed on the greens and didnt venture too deep in the parks. I brought the TE to a MX course once and jumped in the deep end with it. Also been out 2 more times to another MX course in preperation of this event. Did some fire road riding at Loon Lake and of course some slab here and there. I've never ridden dirt prior to my husqy and come from a sportbike background.
I've seen these hare scramble races and instantly wanted to try it. This race was oriented to beginners so I marked this event as a must do. Below is the video of the rider behind me who I block for the first part of the race. Mentally I told myself it would just be a brisk trail ride....ride a constant pace and see where you end up. I felt good at the beginning and although I wasn't blazing I thought it would allow me to finish w/o killing myself. He dispatches of me after a few minutes....

Shortly after he passed me, the course went into a 4x4 area and a quarry type terrain. Sandy, gravely rutted tight turns. This is where I ran off the track...got back on and quickly had my first of many spills. After a few encounters of terrain I've never encountered before and more spills, I ditched my plan of "brisk trail ride" and went to survival mode. Below is a video from my friend who finished waaayyy ahead of me. As I coming down knowing I'm the last guy (sweepers behind you waiting for you to start your stalled bike on the trail is a good indication) I noticed the parking lot almost empty. I think to myself "damn it...(sigh)". I'm now putting along the MX course thinking "You're already last so take your time, and DO NOT CRASH NOW!".

I completed 3 laps, 10/10 in my class and 66th overall. Sprained my MCL, got splashed at a water hole, fell numerous times and people were waiting for me to finish so they could go home.
But, I got some much needed seat time, in different types of terrain. Pushed myself through the parts that had my number and finished the race. I also have a good water mark of my skills and know excatly what I need to improve on. Ever since the race I've been itching to get back at it so I can get better. I am looking forward to doing it again!

The photographer always seems to set himself up for right hand turns...
The foot off the peg is my little signal to those behind me of how slow I am and to please pass on that side. I just leave the foot off all the time. I should really remove the peg to save some weight.

Awesome story, Carlos!! Seriously! That was really fun to watch and read...good for you
Sounds like it was a great experience for you, and you had the right attitude to make it a successful day. Bringing it home in one piece is always Goal #1. If it makes you feel any better I was the last one to finish when I entered my first real enduro
Well, that's not entirely true...Eric was behind me so, technically, he was the last one to finish 
They were handing out trophies when I handed in my scorecard...but I finished WoodsChick
