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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I'm not crazy about this time of year....

Nice pics.:thumbsup: Such a different world from mine. Here it was mid 80's today, but so humid you were just a puddle in your helmet and gear. Cold front came through with the attendant thunder storms, so tomorrow will be low 70's and nice. As oppossed to out West, the rain will make it like riding on ice tomorrow, with the clay based soil around here!:eek:
 
Yeah.... Julain, CA. Best apple pie anywhere!

Anza Borrego..... some of the best wall riding anywhere

I miss that place. At least I do in January when it's 40f here and 72f there.

Thanks for the pics and a stroll down memory lane.

Welcome. You Jeff?

Is the area really called "bike slut park"?

Yes it was, sorry about my manners, I am not on here very much.
I really enjoy reading woodschick's ride reports right up my alley. Now I am into the scenic rides and experiences. Not into all the hard core go fast, beat your body, and see very little along the way riding so much anymore. Been there and done that? :eek:

I was just curious, please visit more often :thumbsup:


Understand about taking things a little slower and enjoying the scenery :cheers:
 
Looking at a map of the Anza Borrego park, there doesn't seem to be any official name for the area other than Oriflamme Mountain. Mason Valley is to the northeast along with Oriflamme Canyon and Rodriguez Canyon. So part of it is probably Mason Valley and part of it is Oriflamme Mountain.:excuseme: What ever it is, it is cut off from the main part of the desert park except for that treacherous singletrack that cuts down through the mountain ravines till it comes out on S2 near the Butterfield RV park. We entered it through a gate that looks locked (but isn't) off of the Sunrise highway very close to the Laguna Mountains. Nobody seems to go there except for bird hunters in the fall and most of the trails and roads are overgrown and in disrepair. Perfect for us two wheelers.:D The Pacific Crest hiking trail also runs through it.

127º in Death Valley today according to radio. Looks like it was only 121.

Used to live in Poway as a kid and our Little League consisted of a team in Julian, two in Ramona and one in Poway. I still love the rolling hills with the tall dry grass and occasional rock or oak tree. I got to be a country boy for a few years.

Mammoth was in the 70's last week but we heard it would pass 80 this week. 112º in Lone Pine (radio) but maybe closer to 100.
 
Wish we could get some of that (hot OR dry) in new england. This has been the year without a summer. Jun was 4 degrees below normal and July is 7 degrees below normal so far. Rain almost every day. Any foray into the woods results in a high-centered, mud-bogged machine within minutes. I've had to back off to mostly unpassable dirt roads. If not for coming home with a limit of native brookies at will - it'd be a total wash.
