I've never travelled to that part of the Province, so not sure how long it takes from Vancouver to Nakusp. If you guys are leaving on Wednesday, I assume that it will be a fairly leisurely ride with stops along the way?
Wednesday may work for me.
I will post again when I have firmed up my schedule.
Thanks

A leisurely ride for sure. Planning on getting there early afternoon on the Thursday. Keep me posted on what you decide.

I will most likely head there from Victoria as well. But my life is a bit up in the air right now. So who knows what will happen.
Last year I rode from Nakusp to Victoria in one day (about 700km's). So it's doable but I would definiltely recommend doing it in 2 days or at least 1 1/2 days to take better advantage of the great ride.
I'm also hoping, time permitting, to do as much of it off pavement as possible since I need the practice and experience.

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.
