James Bay/Trans Taiga Canada who has done it?

The wife and I are heading to James Bay/TransTaiga with some friends this year and was wondering who has done the trip and if you had any thoughts you would be willing to share?

Thanks!

I will be heading up to Radisson the first week of July and am debating riding the Trans Tiaga. Are you guys going up around that time or have you already gone?

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.
