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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2009 WaRM Winter Wudi Ride/WudiXI

Wudsracer

Husqvarna
AA Class
Wudsracer's WaRM Winter Fun Ride (WudiXI)
Location: White Rock Mtn (Combs, AR)
When: centered around the long weekend of Feb 27, 28, & March 1

I know that this is last minute, but I thought I'd extend an invitation to join us for this ride. Some of you may be within driving distance and looking for somewhere to ride this weekend.

The Wudi Ride was first done to give a couple of riders from the "Frozen North" a chance to "Quit whining about being snowed it, load their gear up, and come down South and ride dirt bikes with me."
(There is much more to it, but time restrains me from sharing it now.)
From that first year, it has grown considerably, and joined by riders from all over the country. Everybody with a love of dirt bikes and a good attitude is welcome to join us.

I will be arriving sometimes Wednesday (tomorrow).

The links at the bottom of the update will show you the web page and forum that "jeb" set up for us. The latest update is pasted just below.

Come join us!

Hey all,

Man, I'm embarrassed. I'm pretty sore and tired, and it's just from working trail! I guess 5 weekends in a row of chainsaw work is pushing it a little? Or maybe I'm just getting old? But the Honey Weiss and Tanquery/tonic are helping. Speaking of which, anyone wanting to haul me down a 12 pack or case of Honey Weiss would be repaid in gratitude and greenbacks.

The trails are looking pretty good. Our 3 man crew alone went through 5 tanks of chainsaw gas again today. There is still more to do, but there will be for quite a while because of that ice storm. Most of the trails I intend to use are now ready to go. Thursday's riding, for whomever shows up early, may be a mix of fun riding and a little arrowing/working. We did not get a chance to cut out that big snag on the very south end of the main "Blue" loop, but there's a shortcut to get around that I need to arrow in. Lots of the fun single track is ready to go, along with the 6 miles of brand new trails. So should be fun for everyone.

Weather forecast has small chance of rain Thursday only at this point. The forecast had more rain it, but it keeps better everytime I look at it. A little rain would not hurt at all. Some of the more open ATV trails were putting up a little dust today, and the truck was putting up some dust coming into camp. Conditions are pretty premo, really, but a little rain would be just fine, too. Highs are suppose to be around 50, which is great riding weather.

Bring a little wood if you think of it. There's TONS of it laying around on the trails right now, but I ain't dragging that back to camp. So if everyone brings a little, we should have a nice fire or two every night. The club house has a nice double barrel wood burner, so maybe we'll all just hang in there.

The sites closest to Mill Creek are still not graveled, so those will be great for the tent folks wanting electric hookups.

If you have any questions at all, email me or post them to the forum. Again, I'll be there there about 5pm on Wednesday, so come say hi.

Sounds like a lot of fun, Jim!
But once again, Eric and I will not be able to make it. One of these days we're just going to fly out and borrow some bikes.

I'm looking forward to Deeney's ride report:D

Ya'll are just teasing me, I know.
Just let me know ANY time you and Eric can make it. You don't have to wait on anything special. I'll make it special for you two. In fact, I'll show you two my five most favorite places to ride in the whole world. Just think.... Beautiful mountain and lowland tight singletrack, and all the oxygen rich air of low elevations.

I'll have to admit, though, that I am also looking forward to Mr. Deeney's ride report. Just remember, he is a habitual liar. (I really didn't do all those things he's going to say about me. :D )

I'm pretty excited, Jeff is bringing Wudscrasher and VLJ with him.
At odd moments for the last two days, I've been saying either:
"Take only pictures and leave only bullet holes"
. or
"Big Air. That's all kids want today. Big Air. I say, 'Kid, if you want Big Air, pull my finger'. Smooth Johnson, master of the berm"

Good Riding, Reporting, and Signaturing!

Jim
