Been to two German Hubb Autumn meets, this will be my first summer meeting, It's very friendly and safe and you will soon meet and mix with people. There are some great roads to ride on , with a group or solo, as you wish and also some great walks in the woods and hills surrounding the camp . There have been many couples and solo ladies and families at the past events, so i cannot see this being any different, just maybe a little warmer. Come along you won't regret it .

Thanks bushman_uk for your reassuring words. I guess that's just the kind of reply I was hoping for! greetz Karolien

Hi Jens, Sven, Karolien, Fern, and all the rest that have posted on here, and others that will be at the HU Meeting in Germany.

Just wished to say hello to all and that I signed up for the HU meeting a while back and while be riding through Fracne for two weeks, and then am looking forward to attending the HU meeting, arriving on the Friday.

I have offered to help volunteer a bit in the hopes of being able to to meet everyone there. I have attended two HU meetings in Western Canada, one in 2008 and the other in 2010 and can say they were a great places to meet fellow bikers from all over, and am looking very much forward to the HU German meeting.

Before having to return to the income-generating-model (work) back here on the West Coast of Canada, I will have a month after the meeting to ride, and just wish to warn you advance, I may be pestering you all about questions about where you are from, what the highlights are, and the word on camping, hostels, and guest houses, etc.

I have a bike that I plan on leaving in England, and I did write a few communities in Europe about storage lockers for my bike for six months or longer 'till I am back over again, so if you have any thoughts on that, please save them for when I am there (if you don't mind, as I don't wish to clog up this post with those details), and I would happy to hear about them.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Cheers from Canada!

Ian

I was wondering myself before I went to my first HU meeting. At most bike events/meeting points or exhibitions I feel a little bit out of place, in terms of age, attitude and many other things. Somehow HU is different, it's like coming to a big familiy reunion. It sounds tacky, but it's true. You can do it any way you like it, it's very relaxed and friendly. The most dangerous thing about it is that you'll probably have a strong urge to get on your bike and travel to see the other end of the world by the time the meeting is over ...

Heike made a nice video of last year's summer meeting, have a look:

@Jens: work permitting I'll be there again this year :-)

Best advertisment I've seen for an event for a very long time

@Karolien, Gecko,

I'm coming from Rotterdam, let me know about the plans, I might want to join the ride down.

Hi all

I've just registered and am totally looking forward to this event! I've signed up for some volunteering and hope to meet you all there. Thanks again for the nice words.

@gecko and casper: I appreciate the offer. At the moment I think I'm going to ride there on my own pace (I will be leaving early thursday morning and won't be doing any highways) but I will definitely send you a PM if I change my mind.

take care
Karolien
