TransCan East to West, PanAm and back, then Seattle: 2016/2017

Hi folks,

I'm doing it! I'm taking 18 months or so to travel the Americas - who knows, maybe longer? I relish the idea of riding along with someone in sections doing a similar route at the same time.

Roughly, I am leaving Virginia at the end of April to start my RTW. My first weekend will be at the HU Meeting in Appomattox.

After that, up to Newfoundland, across Canada (stopping at HU Ontario), and then up to Deadhorse, getting there mid-July.

Then, down to Ushuaia (stopping at HU California) along, or parallel to, the Pan-American and then back to Seattle.

You can find my plan in more detail on my blog here: Route and Places to See – Loving Living Adventuring

Please note I am going SLOWLY, aiming for just 125 miles/day average. That way I can stop and smell a rose for a day or two along the way.

Reply here or contact me via my blog (my email address and fb and twitter info is there). Part of the discovery on this trip for me is meeting folks along the way.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Brent

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.
