YOU MISSED IT! GO HERE FOR THE LATEST EVENT!
It's All About Overland Adventure
Whether you're a seasoned veteran with wisdom to share or a complete novice hungry for ideas and guidance, it doesn't matter if you ride a motorcycle, a bicycle, or drive an expedition vehicle...
Horizons Unlimited meetings are for everyone who dreams of adventure along the road less travelled.
Horizons Unlimited Colorado Event Schedule
The event is from Friday, July 12 to Sunday, July 14, 2013. The schedule is pretty laid back, as you'd expect since Greg Frazier is the local organizer!
We're still working on the details, but expect riding as the focus, follow the leader or on your own, with a presentation or two in the evening.
There will be Saturday ride outs (with suggested routes/maps) and possibly group leaders.
Presenters at HU Colorado 2013 include...

Nick TaylorHigh Passes & Soft Curves |
"A quick trip to the Indian Himalaya Fly-in fly-out trip to Leh and Ladakh on a rented Royal Enfield Bullet. You can have a great experience in a very foreign environment without having to do a lot of planning or taking a lot of equipment."
After growing up in the North-East of England, Nick seeks out the drier parts of the world! An experienced desert traveler, Nick has made many trips to the Sahara and the Rub' al Khali, as well as spending time in Southern Africa and the slightly wetter parts of South East Asia. Nick lives in Idledale, Colorado, drives Land Rovers and rides BMWs.

This secluded park features streams on both sides of the property to form an island. An approximately 400 ft. x 150 ft pond is ideal for canoeing and fishing...
The park is secluded from the paved road and neighbors, ideal for friendly motorcyclists ;-)
The park also features 4 horse shoe pits, a bandstand 24ft. x 20ft. a 30ft gazebo with a firepit, 2 very nice & clean restroom facilities are available, two walk bridges over Geneva Creek.
Camping
Camping along the creek is included in your registration fee.
Food
You won't go hungry! From their website: "We smoke like a narrow gauge engine from Colorado! But our 'engine' belches the primal scent of bar-b-qued meats. Succulent Ribs - Brisket - Pork & Turkey legs."
And a local delicacy - Fudge!
Menu from their website:
There is also a small "camper store" on site, for firewood, soups and soda.
