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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Since going to the track twice this month I am finding city riding a bit boring. Rather than risk my license to make up for the lack of excitement I found a gravel area near the velodrome in Balboa Park that is open to cars. Not really anybody there so it is basically a large gravel open area. I had fun breaking the rear loose and thought it would be cool if there were any places to ride on dirt close to the city where I could have a little fun but not have to ride too far. Any ideas?

Thx
 
Lots of nice places to ride, but you have to go further than "the city" to find them. Plenty of winding roads in the back country. Rides up Palomar mountain, to Julian and such.
 
Rocko,

Lots of stuff outside of the city. Old 94 through Jamul & Del Zura, Highway's 67, 78 and 79. And, like DD said, Palomar Mountain is another good spot.

Could even take the Sunrise Highway from Interstate 8 up over to Mt. Laguna, down through Julian, to the 78, to Ramona and back.

I grew up near Black Canyon in Ramona. Have done the full route via 4X4 but never a bike. There used to be camp grounds out there too (years ago). Water falls and stuff. Mesa Grande is the Indian Land side of the route and feeds out to Highway 79 in Santa Ysabel.

If coming up Highway 67, put in at Magnolia Rd. in Ramona and follow all the way out.
 
We rode out there on Sunday. Pamo road to Black Mountain trail, all the way to the very top of Black Mountain, then we went back and rode the connector to Black Canyon road to Mesa Grande, Wynola for lunch, stopped at Lake Cuyamaca before heading out Engineers to Boulder Creek road, down to Cedar Creek trail, up Eagle Peak, and back home on the tarmac.
 
All the routes on our Sunday ride were fairly tame and not technical. You wouldn't get past the gate at the top of Black Mountain, but the rest is probably quite doable. Also Nate Harrison Grade going up to Palomar Mountain. Another nice ride is Pine Creek road out of Pine Valley.
