CD ride
Hi,
I'm interested in company on this run.
My bike is in Edmonton Canada, I had planned to do the reverse route, i.e down the CD then back on the California to Edmonton but can be flexible.
The bike is a Honda XR650L and is being prepared now in Edmonton.
I can contact nearer the time if the the timing is ok.
I am Scottish and live in Germany.

Gday Stan, sorry for being so slack on the reply! I've been busy with a new bike purchase in Australia, riding it all over Tasmania, shipping it home to NZ, riding it all over the South Island and then stripping the spline and pulling it all apart! Been a busy few months! Anyhow, its going back together, but staying here. I will buy a DRZ400 or something similar to do the Conti Divide, and would love some company if you were willing to meet in Colorado? I have been told the New Mexico part is lots and lots of mud and not very fun, but who knows? Anyhow, I figured meeting in Northern New Mexico or over the border in Colorado around early July. Let me know if that suits you and if you are interested. I'll send this to you in a PM as well

I have done the whole route on a mountain bike and the Colorado and New Mexico portions on a motorcycle. On my MTB trip, I had lots of rain in New Mexico and good weather in Colorado, and the reverse on my motorcycle trip. I just depends how the weather is at the time.

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.
