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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Wow...I don't know...it looks like a great place to ride, but I don't know if I'd want to try to make time through there during a race. It looks tight with not a lot of places to go to escape the bottlenecks
that are sure to happen. On the other hand, it would be a nice treat to actually have a sighting lap for an enduro test :D


Thanks for posting!

This is an FIM style enduro so racers enter tests stagered so less chance of bottlenecks. There are always mutiple lines in the really tough stuff. Up to you to find the best line available. The hemlmet cam was of a sighting lap so riders were not really pushing or trying escape bottlenecks at that moment.

“I had a tough time at the Western rounds this year” said Giroux. “It was great to win E3 on the 300 two stroke but I was really pumped to pull off the overall win against all the young guns. I have accomplished a lot in my career, but because we have never had a true coast to coast National series, all the Championships that I have earned before always seemed a little bitter sweet. There has always been that question of who is the fastest; the East or the West riders. I have waited almost 30 years for this win because on this day I finally beat them all and no one can argue it.

The only thing that was missing was Bobby (Prochnau). It’s too bad that he is hurt but Jason (Schrage) is flying this year and it feels awesome to get the win. It was cool to win E3 again on Sunday but I wanted the overall win for the weekend really bad and it was frustrating to miss it by such a close margin. I think maybe I rode a little too conservative trying to avoid any mistakes but Jason was on it and deserves the win. The guy obviously trains hard and has done an awesome job of adjusting to the deep sand and our Eastern terrain.

I can’t wait for the last rounds on my home turf in Quebec and for sure I will be chasing the overall. It would be great to finish off the year with another win”
