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!

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.'
Check out other pics and scores from 2018 here:

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.
