HU Virginia Apr 24-27 2025
 

25 Years of Adventure at Horizons Unlimited Events worldwide!

Registration opens soon with early bird rates!

April 24-27, 2025, Appomattox, Virginia

We're thrilled to invite you to be part of a truly special milestone: celebrating 25 years of Horizons Unlimited adventure, discovery and community.

It's All About Overland Adventure: Whether you're a seasoned veteran with wisdom to share or a complete novice hungry for ideas and guidance, it doesn't matter if you ride a motorcycle, a bicycle, or drive an expedition vehicle...

Horizons Unlimited meetings are for everyone who dreams of adventure along the road less travelled. This 25th anniversary is about celebrating journeys, lessons, and unforgettable moments that shape us as travelers.

If you've just discovered HU, you may be wondering why you should come to a meeting - In Real Life! Some people appreciate Horizons Unlimited events for the inspiration and information from the unique line-up of presenters and exhibitors. Some people value just kicking back with a among old friends and new.

Most people enjoy a little bit of everything, and everyone goes home fired-up for adventure with a smile on their face.

The atmosphere is always warm and inviting, creating a relaxed space where connections are made, and passions are shared.

Open call for submissions: We want your travel stories, technical demos, and practical how-to sessions. We're all here to learn from each other. Not every presenter has a 'round the world trip' to share. We also welcome those who enjoy sharing knowledge and skills relevant to adventure motorcycle travel and overlanding. Are you a 'gear geek' for camping? An outdoor gourmet? Do you have a great approach to roadside breakdowns and repairs? Remember what it was like to be a novice... do you have some skills and tips that would help new members of the community feel a little bit more comfortable taking their first road trip or moto-camping adventure? We want to hear from you! Presenters register here: https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/events/presenter

Come to Virginia!
 

I want to second Susan's invitation to Horizons Unlimited Virginia Travellers Meeting. We've been holding this event for ten years now, and we'd love to have you be a part of our second decade!

We've got a lovely weekend home at Holiday Lake 4-H Camp, where the staff treats us like family, feeds us like guests, and bends over backwards to help us run a great event.

We always have a wonderful roster of presenters -- over the years, we've hosted Elspeth Beard, Sam Manicom, David & Emy Woodburn, Greg & Melanie Turp, Alex Chacon, Dylan Wickrama, and many others. We'd love to have you give a presentation, whether you're a 'round the world veteran or someone just heading out on your first adventure. Linda Pearce (linda@horizonsunlimited.com), my presentations coordinator, or I (steve@horizonsunlimited.com) will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

We've even got Tom Asher providing highly-regarded and affordable off-road training on Friday and Saturday. You must be registered for HU Virginia to take the training, and it requires a separate signup and payment when you register.

If you have some time and are so inclined, we can always use volunteers, too. We can always use people with technical skills -- computers, a/v equipment, e.g. -- or even just help cleaning up on Sunday morning. If you've got the time, we'll find the job!

So mark your calendars for the last weekend in April and join us in scenic and historic Appomattox County, Virginia. Sign up now!

Welcoming everyone who's newer to moto adventures! Nate (@VAMongoose) just let us know how he found out about HU VIRGINIA 2025... from a local park ranger. Crossing paths with the right people can change your life, as Nate recently discovered:

"I was told about it by random chance by a ranger from a park I was riding and hiking in. Finding out it is right in my back yard is fantastic. I cannot wait to be a part of this; as a new rider who loves to explore and adventure, this is a fantastic opportunity. Thank you to all who organize and operate it!"

If you're coming to HU Virginia 2025, then say hi to Nate and other fellow riders who are new to adventure travel! And hello and thanks to the ranger who shared the info. :D

p.s. Nate's riding a 2021 Honda CRF250 Rally. Ride safe, everyone!
