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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Yosemite Adventure Tour - AMA May 4th & 5th,

Sounds pretty cool really ... Lots of biker oriented stuff promoted and family fun .... Not sure on the routes but doing a no-brainer ride is a well received ride for me when I find one ...

Out of curiosity, why is the ama involved here?

My thoughts as well.

If they simply called it a fundraising event for the ama (or brc, etc) then I would be more tempted.

*please* keep in mind that I am not familiar with these types of things, at all.

This event is part of the AMA Yamaha National Adventure Riding Series.

I've never attended it myself, but I hear it's a very good time. I just don't see the need since it is in "my backyard" and I can ride all those routes for free any time I wish. In fact, one of my favorite routes is an all-dirt route into Yosemite National Park and if you leave the park the same way there is no entrance fee! That picture of half-dome on the Family Offroad Adventures website banner in the link above is taken from that road.

This area is far and away one of the best riding areas in the world, both in the fun-factor of the roads and the scenery. It's worth the trip if you are not from around here and they will show you the best of the best!
