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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

This was sort of an interesting ride out to the center of the island and a loop around a few different ridge lines ...

Roads were pretty smooth overall after I left the river at the start, as they must have been graded a few months prior and we have not had enough rain here yet to wash them back out ... ~6 months from now and things should be different up there..

First part of this trip is up a large valley with a river in its flat bottom... Not surprised to see so many people as a river can provide for people in more than a few ways ... I was hoping the water was gonna be a little shallower ... Not an ADV guy here and water is one thing that has stopped by bikes before so you can see I'm very careful at the crossings ... Water is pretty clear and I can see the bottom usually and this made it easy to pick the lowest water line across.

Only a couple pics ... My camera locked just as I was leaving ...


Here's my voyager attached to the bars with their small sized mount... works ok for me but provides little security ... I was hoping to log some gps data on the river and maybe a little more when this started.

As the roads are now, this is a pretty good dual sport ride, maybe 60 miles? ... Any size bike could make it over this route probably ... As far as dirt bikes, many of the corners had a small berm pushed up from the last grading ... hanging on that outside line would not be too dangerous as long as that berm is ridable ..

I really did not know where I was at most of this ride and was listening to the locals on which way to go at the intersections ... It was not till I saw that big rock on the left side just after the climb was started that I knew where I was at ... I was glad to know where I was at again :)

Here is the area of the island I was riding at ... No altitude data but I'd guess I was ~2600 ft or so at the high points...

Thanks for sharing ray ray that riding all looks really neat and technical with the rocks. Glad the ox finally let you cross the river.
