Smile HU Ontario 2019 - May 23-26!
Golden Beach Resort on Rice Lake is our fantastic new location for HU Ontario. It's in a great riding area, but a bit further east, still very convenient from Toronto and closer to Ottawa and Montreal. Lots of accommodation choices on site for every budget, from camping to cottages. More good news - the entire facility is heated!

Very typical comment from previous Ontario meetings:

"Super Super fantastic time. Thanks to all who volunteered to make everything run smoothly. To those that presented, I cannot thank you enough for the wealth of information we have gained from meeting you. We wish we could have left on our adventure Sunday morning we were so excited. We are very much looking forward to the next HUBB meeting we're able to attend."

Mark your calendars now, online registration is open now with early bird rates!

Suggestions on accomodations
Since I'll be traveling alone are there any reasonably price recommended hotels in the area. Thanks

Going to the event solo, GBR is not an option, I just need a room. Camping it out.

Looks like motels in Peterborough might be the answer

Decided to camp, My only concern is power. I need to charge my Cpap battery each day. Solar panel will work if its sunny or I can charge it off the bike when riding just would like a 3rd option. Is there maybe charging stations setup somewhere?

Thanks

We always setup a charging station at all events! Always somewhere to plugin.

Can't PM you as I don't have enough posts. You interested in sharing the cost for a cabin at the Golden Beach Resort?

I was considering buying used camping equipment, but at 61 yrs of age really don't feel like it. My second option was renting a room in Peterborough

I've booked a 2 bedroom condo at the Golden Beach Resort checking in thursday and check out Sunday morning...

I'm looking for someone interested in sharing the condo with me. For the 3 nights I got quoted (with the 35% discount) $551.00 Cdn or roughly $425.00 US. Not cheap and they don't provide anything, so you'll need your own soap, towels, coffee, garbage bag, etc. Non smoking rooms as well.

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.
