Adding my thanks as well. I arrived late, ate and drank myself silly, saw some nice countryside and met a lot of nice folks....plus re-encountered people I'd met on two continents and met a whole passel whose on-line commentary I'd appreciated.
The only thing I missed was the very helpful B.C. resident who was going to bring me some sprocket-changing tools. Sorry, but I had no idea I'd be a few days late, that the encampment would spread over hill and dale or that the attendees would fill Legion Halls and Senior Centers with such ease. My humble thanks, whoever you really are, and my apologies at being unable to take advantage of your generosity.
I just spent a couple of days mountain biking down in Rossland, reminding me why I also ride an internal combustion-powered machine. Look for me wandering the hills for a week or two until my tenants move out and I settle back home

Had a great time, listened and watched many great stories, ate great food, met numerous great people. Thank you Grant, Susan, Ekke, Audrey and all the rest for making the event so much fun. It was all very inspirational.
Asked about you Mark many times, but couldn't find you. Have a good ride home.

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.
