Hubb Meet Ace Cafe London Sun June 3rd

Hello

Following the success of Alex's london community meet at the ace, we' d thought we'd have another one, and maybe we'll take some photos this time! It was lovely to meet so many faces from across London and further afield.

Lets say from 11am til mid afternoon. Richard and I will be heading straight for Dover from the ace, Richard is off to Ukraine and Romania, and i'm not stopping til New Zealand.

Lets hope for some sun, a nice bacon butty, cuppa tea and lots of friendly Hubb'ers



See you then


Fern

It was nice to meet a few of you today.

Fern and Richard left a bit quickly though. We were 3 bikes who were going to follow them up to Folkstone to see them off. They left so quickly that we were left behind. We tried to catch you up for about 30 minutes and eventually turned around back to the Ace Cafe.

Of well.


Good luck and ride safe.

I came along yesterday to the Ace, unfortunately I forgot to ask how to actually recognise any of you...
Couldn't see many RTW types so I had a cuppa and headed back. Still it was good to actually find the Ace so next time there's a meet I know its an easy trip from home.
Good luck Fern & Richard, hope you both have amazing trips.

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.
