Off-roading near Malaga, Spain?
Hi
Anybody live in/ visiting that part of the world who wants to join me riding gravel tracks around the Costa del Sol in the week before Christmas (16th to 24th Dec 2006)? Or know of any dirtbiking contacts/clubs around there?
My DRZ400 is on it’s way to Malaga now in a van. I fly to Malaga on 16th December. I have hired a guide for a couple of days (17th to 19th), but am free 20th to 23rd December.
Or just meet up in the evening for a cerveza/ vino tinto?
The bike is staying with friends and I’ll return at Easter 2007 for 2 weeks in Morocco.
Cheers
Chris

Have a good trip Chris. Can't join you but we are making plans to ride in Morroco next November for a 3 week trip. Ferry to Santander and then ride down through Spain. Just trying to decide which bikes to take. I should be on my ex-army MT350 but Vanessa seems to fancy a 350 Enfield.

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.
