We're very pleased to announce the 2nd Virginia Travellers Meeting, scheduled for April 28-May 1, 2016 at Appomattox, Virginia! Note the LATER date, we're expecting wonderful spring weather!

Travellers from all over will meet at the Holiday Lake 4-H Camp for a weekend of fascinating presentations, good food, and amazing camaraderie amid the rolling hills, lush forests, and great roads of central Virginia. The 4-H camp is set lakeside in a state forest, and we'll have it all to ourselves. We'll have several rooms for presentations, including covered outdoor sessions. Accommodations include tent camping, rustic cabins, and bunkhouses, and packages of lodging and meal choices are available on the website.



Tentative schedules and presenter lists are on the HU Virginia page, but we'll be adding more as you volunteer to talk about your latest or greatest trip! Remember, we always need 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.

Virginia meeting organizer Steve Anderson is being assisted by HU North Carolina organizer Mike Kilpatrick, whom Steve has helped the last several years, so you'll be in good hands. George Parker and Jim Truesdell round out the local team - we're VERY grateful to them for stepping up and really making it happen with a lot of legwork and effort. If you have any questions not answered on the HU website, please ask here and Steve will respond as soon as possible.

Thanks for anything you can do to help spread the word about the event. There is a poster that you can print off and hand around to local venues and bike shops too:
