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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husqvarna
Pro Class
Just south of Tecate, 10-15 minutes from the border. With all the moisture this should be another good event at this
location. mixture of single track, rocky single track, open and valley tracks. usually they layout hard and easy route markers. great fun, great people, well managed, plastic trophies 1-2-3 in all classes.
be prepared for some sections of sharp rocks (wide open on shock HSCD knob!!), the courses are always novice manageable.

its here this weekend. local level closed course GNCC/XC/HS racing !!! nearby well managed (we all get transponder/rfid tape) and use a staggered start sequence. fun and easy go when they say go and stop at the checkered flag. always a party atmosphere in Baja Mexico.
 
a good challenging 6.5 mile loop with a little bit of everything. Pros got 6 laps, I got in 5, happily got lapped by eventual winner right near the end of the 4th lap.
OA Justin Morgan YAM YZ450
P2 Sammy Montalban
P3 Grant Statley

For me its a little bit hollow victory the 50 plus class was very thin (5 or six) but I think my OA position is fairly solid.
 
Under the Oaks at the start.
Puerta MX used RFID tape stickers we had them stuck behind our number plates, we did a 1 rider every 10 seconds start. the actual start was about 15 yards behind the transponder tower so we were each recorded as we left the start. Its a very good way to keep things rolling. race was 1.5 hr from the leader crossing the gate, happily Justin Morgan lapped me---right near the end of my 4th lap, so I got in 5 as my white flag lap. total distance @ 40 miles/ 2 hours in the saddle. Race was very well managed and the course really was top tier, with truly a bit of everything!
Cody (AUS) open class, Rob (USA) 50+ class, Hugo (Mex) 40+ class.
PS Cody's Dad was a top tier A4DE competitor back in the day. (that's for the Oz crew)

I was being conservative of my legs, I should have been up on the pegs through there. I must admit the tall seat is great for sit to stand transitions, but in the rocky ugly stuff I prefer the low seat (more like a no-seat trial riding position). When our annual 75 miles of ugly ride comes I will swap the lower OEM seat back on
