Community Help
You might want to email the Calgary HU Community group. I know that they are quite active and one of the members might be able to help out. If not give me an email at rickblan<at>telus.net closer to the time. I am in Edmonton, about 3 hours North of Calgary and should have sorted out my accommadations and might be able to help out.
On a slightly different note we spell Canada with a C not a K. No big deal but something you might want to keep in mind when searching the internet or corespponding with Canadians.
Cheers and have a good trip.
Rick

New to Horizons Unlimited?
New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!
Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.
Read more about Grant & Susan's story
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.
