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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

OK...mutha nature has decided to puke out snow onto the landscape...This is my first season of riding and can't bare to go 4 months without a proper ride. Question...how far south do I need to travel Stateside to plan a riding week/end end of March. My mountain bike days had me travel to Utah/colorado(fruita) and South Carolina. Given I can't check the Husky as oversized baggage on a flight....any opinions from my American brothers on where would be the closest region/state to make plans to ride? I'm in Kingston, Ontario so....north of New York State..any ideas welcomed..

I know you most definitely don't want to come to the North East because it's really cold and windy here in New Jersey. :cool:

I've come to grips that I may just have to "let it go", use winter for valuable maintenance and upgrading and enable time to fuel the desire to engage in some sanctioned enduro events ;)

Sir; I am over here north of the GTA. Rode every week last winter. You must get the studs or as good a trelleborg replica as you can.

Just ordered up some Kold Kutter studs. Figure I'll just stud them up and see if these make a difference this winter on some tires I was going to be replacing for the spring. Ordered the 3/8" to just try them out. Will let the skidoos pack down some trail and then give em a rip to keep the blood flowing. On a side, also equipped the mt. bike with some sheet metal screws and took it for a spin around the subdivision that is covered in snow and ice...if the Kold Kutters are even remotely close to the traction gained from sheet metal screws....looks like this winter will be a good one...SNOW or NOT...freeze up the lakes and rivers and new terrain to be explored!!
