Hi Grant and Susan!
I just signed up for the CA HU event and have added my name to the volunteer list and am super excited to attend having missing Nakusp this year.

Question for you, where is the best place to post a "bike storage" request? I will be riding out from New Mexico and with the intention of leaving my bike in California for the winter while I return to home to Vancouver. I was thinking in the 'regional' forum or here.. Let m know where to think the most effective place is.
Thanks!
Jen

good to hear you're going to make it to this one Jen,

Storage:
Regional forum, or the various Communities in the area- just write them directly, usually works out very well. See "Connect' on the menu! :)

Also of course talk to people at the event, but try the Communities first - you could meet the person you'll store the bike with in Cambria!

see you there!

Latest update:

We have 30 Presenters on the schedule, many doing more than one, so it's going to be a VERY FULL weekend! Get there early as we will try to run some twice, giving you a chance to see more.

Just received confirmation from Jeffery Polnaja from Indonesia, RideforPeace.com that he WILL be there with a terrific presentation on his travels, (we've seen it) a really inspiring journey.

And of course we have Sam Manicom all the way from England just for this event, Ted Simon for the 40th Anniversary of Jupiters Travels, Ken and Carol Duval from Australia, 6 years into their SECOND RTW, Jeremy Kroeker from Canada, always entertaining, Mike and Jo Hannan from Australia talking about how to do your European adventure, Dave Rankine on Alaska, Nicole Espinosa, Carla King, Walt Fulton and many many more!

With a list like that how can you not come?! :confused1:

And there's more, the list is a long one, so do check out the California information page and be sure to register SOON! :clap:

See you there!

Update:

Craig Vetter recently had a hip replacement operation, and was still hoping to make it, but has been convinced by someone more sensible - his wife - that he shouldn't, so sadly he won't be there this year, but will be back next year.

Coach2Ride OffRoad Riding class - we've had scheduling problems, our snafu, and they can't make it, so it's cancelled.

Walt Fulton of Streetmasters and AMA racing fame will do a 1 hour Off-Road seminar. (no charge, part of the scheduled talks

Celebrating 40 Years of Jupiter's Travels
 
This time next week Sam Manicom and I will be somewhere over the Atlantic on our way to California :)

We're flying into San Francisco and will be touring around a bit during the days before and after the Cambria meeting. Sam has had the pleasure of visiting California before of course, but this will be the first time he's had the chance to share his passion for travelling in Africa with an audience in the US. I know he's really looking forward to it.

Unlike Sam I haven't been to the US before (I'm ashamed to say!), so I'm particularly excited about the trip and the long overdue opportunity to meet some of the people who've supported The Ted Simon Foundation over the past couple of years, including Carla King, Nicole Espinosa, Paul H Smith, Carl Parker and Jupiter's Travellers Sandy, Terry and Jack Borden.

Last Sunday, October 6th, was the 40th anniversary of the beginning of Ted Simon's original Jupiter's Travels journey and the Foundation is celebrating those 40 years of inspiration throughout October - with the Cambria meeting being the main focus.

Ted will be there to talk about his journeys and his new book Jupiter's Travels In Camera, and I'll be giving a Pecha Kucha presentation and Q&A about the purpose of the Foundation, our Jupiter's Travellers and how people can get involved.

Two weeks to go - see you all there! :)

Also looking forward to meet in personal. I've missed escorting you from Baja Mexico to US Border last weekend. Wish to hear more of your adventure ride stories this coming Cambria meet.

HU Travellers Meeting via Mexico
 
Hola Grant & Susan from Mazatlan!

At the August meeting in North Carolina I met Ralph from Alabama who told me he was going to the BMW Rally in Veracruz, Mexico in October. I joined him & another rider from Texas. After the rally they went returned home, but I continued west and today I'm crossing the Sea of Cortez today from Mazatlan. I hope to ride north through Baja California in time to attend the meeting in Cambria. I'll have fresh Mexico stories to share.

I look forward to seeing Wind Rider Jeffrey (Ride for Peace) and Doug Laird (also attended the Mexico Rally) again in Cambria.
I've been reading Jupiter's Travels on this trip & also look forward to meeting Ted Simon.

On site. There's a beautiful view of the ocean from the field where people camp.

rokklym 19 Oct 2013 14:48

Thanks! I'm really hoping I can make it. It will most likely be for Saturday only, but I'm going to try my best.
