How long Bogota to Machu Pichu
Hi how long to do this ride if I ride for two days and take a day off type of cycle. I prefer to ride 200 to 250 miles a day, Im sorta lazy sometimes.

Thanks

Is that Barrhead as in Alberta eh? On Grizzly Trail, northwest of Edmonton? Some pretty friendly folks up there. I do love riding in Alberta. (In August).

Cheers,
John Downs

Nice! I have three weeks to catch a flight in Lima. Looks like a flat ride once you get into Peru.

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.
