TCAT from Toronto to BC this summer

Hey everyone!

My friend and I are looking to ride the TCAT in August, we're having a hard time finding information about it.
We can't even seem to find GPS files, we contacted graveltravel.ca and no response.

Does anyone have any information they can share with me?
Tx!
Joanne

They usually respond reasonably quickly, so I have to ask, how long since you wrote them?

The GPS files are available from them directly, with a $25 fee, which I think is more than reasonable.

Our little Honda's have been crated up and will ship in a weeks time... Time to tidy up all arrangements in the UK whilst away so there's nothing that can fester in our absence even the dreaded aspect of a 'Will' should not be ignored. Travelling isn't just a case of packing your gear and zooming off so many loose ends to button up...!!!

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.
