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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

No apple picking today. Just riding around by myself in the autumn weather in the mountains.







 
Looks like the terrain was changing from treeless, rocky hills in the first pics to some area where you were in big pine and fur trees...
 
I do loops here and loops in loops, this place being so small, but from my riding here, so much, over the ~same areas, looping is another aspect of dirt-bike riding that might be a little over-blown This would be from a pure dirt-bike-riding-very-often-perspective.. Doing the same ride in the opposite direction, reverses ~everything. Uphills become downhills, lefts become rights, entry points into turns ~all change, even the views are totally different, if you are observing the scenery.

Another point I like in regards to riding an area in the opposite way is that you might can see the line you just caved an hour or so ago; You can see you were over there on the 1st pass but now over here feels much better; You might have to be born-to-ride-in-the-dirt to get this view but some of us might have that.

The uphills and downhills are very different. I'll roll down into a valley, just looking at the lines there, BECAUSE, I know I fixing to rest at the bottom and do a charge back to the top... This also allows to change your lines and not always do the well-beaten, ~fastest line like an AMA or FIM track racer does.

All the stuff you show above, DD, shows ~virgin looking trails with no real roosting.... You layed out the carved lines for others to follow in the near future behind that 501(?) Husky!
