Smile HUMM Monashees July 19-21, 2019

Yay, it's back! The 4th Canadian HUMM will be happening in the Monashees of British Columbia. Great new riding area, heaps more trails!

What's a HUMM? Horizons Unlimited Mountain Madness, a.k.a. 'the best thing you can do on a motorbike'!

A HUMM is kinda like an off-road motorcycle scavenger hunt. There is no set course, so you make your own adventure! Winning demands strategy, teamwork, riding and navigation skills and pure fun! 'The best 48 hours of my life!'

Registration is open now with early bird rates!

While you're enduring the winter and waiting for July, check out the HUMM Monashees 2018 video by Scott Chisholm, Andrew Thompson and Michael Klopp of DATS Dirt Chimps, the 1st Prize Winners in GPS Multis Class. Warning, this footage may be intimidating to some people - these guys are seriously good and did the gnarliest stuff.

For those who want it hard, we've got you covered!
https://youtu.be/I-KxU6ZuHpM

The Monashees are a 400-km-long range in southern BC. Known to hikers and heli-skiers for some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, the Monashees are relatively unknown as an off-road riding destination. We aim to change that! 'couldn't believe how good the scenery was...' '...some of the best riding I've done, ever.'

Specials in Nakusp if you're going to HU Canwest AND/OR HUMM Monashees

We've reached out to the members of the Nakusp Chamber of Commerce and invited them to offer specials to HU attendees during HU Canwest (July 11-14), and HUMM Monashees (July 19-21), and for the week in-between IF you're in town for both events! We'll post details for each one over at the Canwest FB Event page and dedicated HUMM FB Group. No affiliation or official endorsement of these businesses. Just want to encourage y'all to explore Nakusp and area to make your stay more enjoyable.

Early morning breakfast places for the HUMM

You'll want a hearty breakfast before hitting the trails during HUMM Monashees. FYI: A couple of great breakie places in town are opening early enough on the weekend, July 20-21, to let your team ride off into the sunrise. They're just a couple of blocks from the Nakusp Arena.

What's Brewing on Broadway
420 Broadway St. W.
Opens at 7:00 AM

Broadway Deli Bistro & Cafe
408 Broadway St. W.
Opens at 6:00 AM

They got the heads up that hungry riders will be in town! Thanks for supporting local businesses. We love it there.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
