Great news! Riverwood Downs is a good venue and as others have said, the area is a motorcyclists dream.
I'll be in for some sort of volunteering and may even be persuaded to present if I can come up with a suitable topic. Bring on October I say. :clap: |
Looking forward to this. Hopefully my bike will be back in the country by this date :)

Ashim, I hope you are up for doing a presentation ...:mchappy:

We want to do more presentations and seminars - but we need volunteers to give them!

I've been told that I can talk underwater with a mouthful of marbles, 20min easy
BUT, I've got no topic to offer this crowd though :laugh: I am looking forward to our 1st HU meeting. See yas there :D |
Susan,
I was unable to make the North Carolina event earlier this year at which I had put my hand up to present I have never really done a presentation and its not much compared to RTW trips but I could do something short on riding the Himalayas or a recent 6 weeks in the US South West if you are short on content :) |
Great stuff!
Either or both of Himalayas or the US South West would be great! We promise to be gentle since it's your first time... ;-)
Please sign up here: Online Registration for Adventure Travel Presenters See you at Riverwood! |
Technical workshop topics
Bucket 1960,

But just as important are practical how-to sessions such as roadside cooking, navigation/GPS, trip prep and planning, adventure motorcycling medicine, packing light, setting your bike up, communications/blogging from the road, self-publishing your story, yoga for bikers, bodging/bike maintenance, self-defense, photography, videography, tire repair, safe riding techniques, how to pick up your bike, off-road riding, all are of interest. So I'm sure you've got a topic to offer! See you there, Susan & Grant |

Sadly, just doing the tarred road :thumbdown: Looking forward to our 1st HU shindig bier |
Of 130 people that turned up, I am the only one to bother a comment ???:nono:
A great informative weekend at an awesome location. HUGE thanks to all the presenters, with a special shout out to Grant & Susan, Brian & Shirley :clap: We (I) rode in the WRONG way(Mrs just suffered on the back):rofl:, but it certainly made for a more adventurous trip, through the deep gravel in the never ending roadworks. Took the wrong turn off & ended up viewing some stunning scenery & great roads. The venue at Riverwood Downs was perfect ! Food was good, beers cold & the company excellent bier |
