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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My friend Hutch and I took our 250 2T's for a ride this morning. My '12 Husaberg TE250 and his '02 FBF CR250. It was the kind of day, that it would be easy to stay home... 37 Degrees F, rain, sleet and wind. We warmed up on the open MX portion of the loop, but quickly decided to head into the tight woods to warm up our bodies and hands. Super slick, with lots of leaves down, but not too bad once you got your "sea legs". I always think I'm barely cracking the throttle, but Hutch differed, as he showed me his helmet covered in mud from my roost. He said the only way he kept his goggles clean, was doing the "Springfield Mile Tuck". Ride was a little too short, but I'm so glad we didn't bag it for the weather!

Sleet does sound a little on the hard side and yep, adding wet leaves on top of about anything will be owl dodo slick :( ... After riding in those conditions, when it does turn dry, you'll be jet-fast out there!

Wrong time of the yr but looks like deer hunting woods to me ...
 
Ray some years it hardly dries out at all. It will dry out now, if we get few sunny days, but once the leaves are all out..... it may stay fairly slick, if it's a rainy year. At least we'll blow the leaves of the trail, as we ride more. Yes, when it dries out and you have traction, it's easy to go fast. Riders from my area are noted for being good racers, in slick and muddy conditions.

Great deer woods.... That light stuff in the background is about 75 acres of corn for deer feed. We were riding in a couple of different herds today. There is a very big buck in these woods, that landowner's friend had first dibs on.

Boy howdy, it still looks like winter in your neck of the woods.
Spring is well underway in Western OR.
