Colombian Motorcyclists Ride for Peace - NOW !!!!!

Big moto rally around Colombia next weekend, the 6th i think....stay tuned for more info...........


HERE IT IS >>>>>>>>>>>


La Caravana por la Libertad es convocada y organizada por el compañero motociclista y periodista HERBIN HOYOS MEDINA Director del Programa Radial "Las Voces del Secuestro" de Caracol Radio. La Caravana tendrá el apoyo de la prensa hablada, escrita y televisión a nivel nacional e internacional. Todo el tiempo tendremos el acompañamiento de la Policia Nacional de Carreteras, apoyo de ambulancia, carros con remolques (para casos de varadas y poder continuar), mecánico de apoyo y logística en todas las ciudades en Coordinación con la Organización "Colombia soy yo". El recorrido consta de 4.331 km en 18 dias. La idea es sentar nuestro clamor por la paz y la libertad de los secuestrados de Colombia. Invitamos a los Clubes de Motociclistas en todas la ciudades del país a participar con una banderita blanca en las motos y vincularse haciendo parte del recorrido completo, por tramos, dando la bienvenida y que reciban la Caravana al pasar por las diferentes ciudades y municipios. Invitamos a que todas las motos en Colombia llaven una banderita blanca en solidaridad con la Caravana pidiendo por la Libertad de los secuestrados. De la misma forma invitamos a los gobernantes a disponer de un asta en el Parque Principal, recibir la Caravana realizando una breve ceremonia de bienvenida dejando izada la bandera de la libertad con la interpretación del himno nacional.

Cualquier inquietud al respecto por favor comunicarse con TATO PRADA, Motociclcista coordinador al correo tatoprada@yahoo.com o con Herbin Hoyos al herbin@caracol.com.co Cel 311 4805131. Quien desee colaborar desinteresadamente con hospedaje en las ciudades, combustible para las motos, alimentación sobre los recorridos o logística de este evento, también pueden hacerlo comunicándose a la Oficina de Coordinación de la Caravana en Bogotá al Tel 3213874 Cel. 311 4482884 o al email: caravanamotorizada@hotmail.com con María Isabel Campos.

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.
