HUMM 2010 Pyrenees
I would like to extend a Huuuuge Thank You again to Grant and Susan for yet another well organised HUMM. Less teams than last year (when I tried for the first time, some may remember me from the big blisters and the slight limping).
This year went a lot better, our team, Team Furieux 00, even got third place !!!
We were lucky to have a team-member with great map reading skills.
We're aiming for 1st place next year obviously. This will mean for me at least to get some courses in the Ardennes I think. I need to get my confidence back. Had a bit of an accident last year, which had a bit of an effect this year.
All in all it has been a good one this year and hopefully there will be more teams next year.
See you then !!!

Well done Spete on the trophy.
I really enjoyed the event this year and I'm already looking forward to next year. I going to write a full ride report which I'll post on my website and link here (hopefully tomorrow).
Really enjoyed meeting everyone, the HUMM seems to attract such a diverse bunch of off roaders, it's so nice to see that there are still riders out there getting a lot of fun out of riding off road without having the latest enduro bike - not to mention riding a very long way to take part (Denmark, Ireland etc.)

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
