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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fun 35 Mile Training Loop

Looks like a great loop! I have a similar length "before work" ride, but it has some road burn mixed in.
When the weather gets good I will try and get a video up.
Your Front fender in the video is tweaked, or maybe the fender bag was just off to one side. Kept messing with my eyeballs! :eek:

I've been in New England for too long (at a stretch). The terrain and area out there is just sooooooooo different than wet New England woods.
I don't think I saw one wet root on your ride.

End of the month I will get my desert fix! Keep me going for another year.
 
We only get rain a few times a year Then when summer comes it is over a 100 up to 120 a few time in my life. I have mounted up the lights and done it in the night time trying to beat the summer heat

But from Oct thru May it is great
 
I am making sure that I have a good light set up this year as well.
More about the time of things.
Kids sports schedules, work, projects..... They all get in the way!
So far I have replaced the stock headlight bulb on the TE with the Cyclops bulb, and added a helmet light just under the visor of one of my helmets.
I may add a light bar as well, but I want to make sure that I have it set that I can remove it within 5 min. Most times I don't want it there, and with it being moist around here, and me sucking, I do end up going down from time to time and I would not want to smash it up.

Man, I don't know how you can handle that intense heat! We will hit a few days a year that flirt with 100 degrees, with high humidity, but I could not do that intense heat.
I moved my folks back from Mesa AZ last year and it was 114 while I was there. Loaded the Uhaul AFTER 8 at night. On the way back rode a day in Moab when it was only 100. Even that was borderline for me.
 
I've ridden some of it with Dave A on his B Day ride last year some on each side of the freeway. I'm such a goon because the invites come in....but I never manage the time to get there, or to some of the other spots way up north to ride either.
 
I rode a lot of this area when I worked at Cathedral City Honda in the 90s.... such cool riding out there....
