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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

LAMC Tecate Sprint Enduro 5DEC2015

its getting more and more real now. news from FB page

Guys, Currently our plan is to divide each class into 1/3s. We will start 1/3 of the entrants on each Course simultaneously, fastest classes first, riders starting individually on 15 (or 30) second intervals. Then each 1/3 group will move on to the next course, and the next course, etc., always starting in the same order.

Each entrant will be given a set of 6 "key" start times, two for each course, and the entrant's "key" time will begin the elapsed time for that pass, whether the entrant is there to start on time or not. There will be 20-30 minutes breaks factored in between the estimated finish time of each pass and the key time for the next Course start. There are no "Teams" but if you want to ride with your buddies, and you are all in the same class, send your entries in together and we will do our best to accommodate.
 
.....I say crap to that-- those freakin things hurt like bloody hell. like riding into a hornets nest, and they are another reason to run mousses. and stay disciplined in the ribbon
 
Rider entries still open for the Tecate Sprint Enduro! As of last Saturday there are 45 entries remaining. Please send your entry forms in soon.
Mexican riders can email a copy of their entry form to kenthssd@gmail.com and use Pay Pal to pay their entry fee. US entrants can use regular snail mail or the email method listed above.
 
Some details from the course crew:
1. Each entrant will be given a set of 6 "key" start times, two for each course, and the entrant's "key" time will begin the elapsed time for that pass, whether the entrant is there to start on time or not. There will be 20-30 minutes breaks factored in between the estimated finish time of each pass and the key time for the next Course start.
2. The focus is to make the trails fun and flowing. Ride each section as fast as you can, take a short break, work on your bike, talk with your buddies then go out on your next section!
3. Three courses, approximately 5.5, 7.5, and 8.5 miles. Ride each course twice. 6 loops total. Breaks in between (if you don't screw up). Not super technical. Best be on time for each of your 6 "key" time starts 'cause your timing and scoring begins then whether you are there or not!
4. Key times will be posted at the race. Check your number and get your 6 key times! This is CRITICAL! ‪#‎clubnews‬

Man, that's a lot of detailed stuff.
 
detailed yes, simple yes. just write down on a paper and clear packing tape your key times onto your bar pad and have a race clock synched watch on you or the bike. Be at the gate(s) on your time and go. faster you get though your test the more time you will have in between loops....
 
Yeah, the restart enduro was really easy compared to an ISDE, ISDE is really easy compared to a time keeper... These sprint enduros are almost too easy.

Later,
 
The timing sounds very similar to ISDE Qualifiers I rode up in Oregon and Washington back in the 1990's. When your minute came up the clock started clicking weather you were there or not. We were given our checkpoint times,(similar to your key times) in advance based on your start number. I would write the check times on a strip of duct tape and put that tape right on top of my fuel tank so it was easy to see and I wore a wrist watch synched to the official race event clock. FYI: my official "race watch" was a sturdy, waterproof diver's watch I picked up in a pawn shop for about $35.00. That watch served me well for over 20 years of hard use in all conditions including crashes till it finally gave up the ghost.
