2014 Fundy Adventure Rally

Hey everybody,

Fancy an adventure riding rally in New Brunswick, Canada? Are you curious to see if the rumour that all of Canada looks the same is actually true? (It isn't ...)

The Canada Moto Guide is hosting the inaugural Fundy Adventure Rally just outside Sussex, NB, on Sept. 5-7 this year. You can find more information here, but in essence, the weekend revolves around a day-long off-road ride on the 6th, with camping over the weekend and other fun the evening before and the morning after.

More updates soon ...

So, we're opening registration for this today! More details here!

I've copied some must-know information from the rally page below ...

The Fundy Adventure Rally is about getting your Adventure/dual sport bike off pavement and into some wonderful gravel and dirt in the Fundy area of New Brunswick. All riders and brands are welcome, though we are working on some kind of bonus for anyone that shows up on a BMW (they’re our main sponsor!).

The 2014 Fundy Adventure Rally will happen on the weekend of the 5/6/7 September at Adairs Wilderness Lodge just south of Sussex, New Brunswick. It even has a paved access road to it and means that riders can start the rally right in the middle of the trails system.

The base route is a 500 km gravel/dirt/paved loop that suits the novice adventure rider but adds a bit of a challenge due to its length. Riders have up to 12 hours to complete the rally.

This event is predominantly a team event though we do have options for the solo rider on the base loop. More seasoned riders will find a host of optional routes that loop off the base route and require a more prepped bike and competent rider.

These options are FOR TEAMS ONLY (3-5 members) so that you have people that can help you if you get into difficulty. All teams will be required to put a deposit down on a SPOT Gen3 Satellite GPS Messenger device as well, so that we can track which options you did and also provide you with a way to call for help in an emergency.

We will be sweeping the route but you are responsible to get you and your team out off the woods and back to civilization.

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.
