Indeed I did mean Saturday's ride out.  The cold weather has frozen my brain I think.
30 degrees you say? HMM we were about 12 degrees on the way home but it's now 15 degrees and feeling warm.

@ Jim,
no competition, but the weather during the German HU was miles better than in Ripley last year  Any
I thought you had grip heating !?
@ Jens,
sorry I let you down re packing and tidying the place, but I had told you, that if it rains, I'll leave straight away. So it did, but stopped quite soon
I was going to get the benches stacked away, but before I could start, all the people flocked into the tents for breakfast...
Let's see what next year will be like.
Thanks anyway for your effort. You did a great job. I enjoyed the weekend VERY much
Hans

The heated grips were on full power all the way home. I'm getting soft in my old age I guess.

A big THANK YOU from me and Henry, too. It was very inspiring and so great to meet so many other travellers. I felt quite humbled by other people's experiences.
Good to see you again at the Tenere Legend rally, Jens, hope you got to China ok.
Sindy hope you didn't get lost !!
Grant I am remembering my "leading lines" and the "rule of thirds" when taking photos!!
Hans sorry we didn't get to say tata. Tata!!
Mick hope the weather stays good for you.
Kenny hope the roads aren't too busy.
Gary we missed you at the Tenere rally, and you missed a good time.
Everyone else, Barbara, Zidy, George, Denise, Jane & Pete, and anyone else I've forgotten to mention, it was great to meet you.
We are still on the road but getting the boat to England this sunday  , but as we can practically smell home from here it'll be nice to go home for a while before the next trip.

Well my first trip abroad on the bike.
What can i say, The best holiday I have ever had. ( Even if I did drop my keys and proceed to search for 3 hours when I had them all along.)
Alot of great people met at the rally and hopefully see some again at the Ripley event next month.
Dave

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.
