Tcat
The route is completed and posted now . Gravel Travel is working on getting a better system now including the route with printable maps with GPS points to places to stop IE gas, bike shops and places to stay I hear they are 80 % done that now. Looks like it should be a great track to follow. The G.T. guys say its better to start in the east and work west ,but as I am at the far west of it and rarely listen to people who know better will attempt it going west to east. at least as far as mid Alberta then heading down to the states to get onto the Trans America Trail. Following that west, then who knows? Maybe back north to refit for a longer ride to South America and beyond.

Two years ago, the TCAT was the main reason I decided to learn how to ride off road. Sadly, since then I've not had the time or the cash (and I'm still learning off road skills) but would love to read about your travels when you go - don't forget to post on the HUBB!

Sorry that I have been lapse in my replies
Hi everyone. I have now moved to Nova Scotia and in the move I have not had a lot of time to reply to posts. I am more keen than ever to do the ride but no longer have a preference whether to travel east or west. If those of you that expressed interest in the ride are still interested then please reply. I will also try to answer each of your posts individually.
Cheers.

I have friends out west who may have a fully kitted out KLR for me to purchase to replace the Tiger. Hence it could be better for me to ride east. Are you still interested in the ride?

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.
