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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
But I know he really wants to come and has been talking to the HVNA Northwest Rep about participating. This is pretty exciting stuff!
Alrighty.. finally some indication from Husqvarna NA..
It all depends on peoples schedules which are yet to be determined, and probably cannot be determined until after everyone decides if they are going or not.
- They are excited and will be there in some capacity, yet to be determined.
- At the very least a district rep will be there handing out information, stickers, etc, and will bring a few bikes.
- It is quite possible that there will be pictures taken and used for marketing purposes, such as the Ride More journal.
- It also sounds likely that some from the main office will also be there. It is also possible, that this could be *huge*, if certain people show up.
So there you have it, it is quite possible you could meet some of the HVNA top management in person, and ride with them, and be in a Ride More journal - if that makes any difference to whether you decide to come to this event or not. Personally I am thinking larger possibilities exist, but that's just me...
As far as I know, Bill will be there. He told me he was moving his shop last year when the event occurred. As far as I know, his participation will be quite important.
:LOL:
That was quite intentional. The first thing people tend to do is to look at the dates, then if it includes a Thursday or Monday then they instantly decide not to read the thread. The way it is set up now putting the mouse over the title will bring up not only the dates - but also the explanation that it is ok to show up and leave whenever they want.
Could be.. hard to tell.
Look in post number 1

Thank you for clarifying that, I have been curious.
Is there any reason the weekend 1 week earlier would not work? Thursday 10/20 to Monday 10/24th?
I'm after whatever dates work for the most people. I 'tentatively' said 'how bout the last weekend in Oct' based on the post I just quoted above... it appears there are 2 weekends to choose from. I just randomly picked one.Locally the 29/30 the is the annual 24 hours of starvation ridge team race, that would be a tough choice for some... It is only a couple hours from Bend, maybe we could put together a bunch of husky teams.
Later,
