Hello from Reno, NV, USA
 

Just joined HU. I have been riding for some years, but at 61 years old, I've finally decided to start adventuring. Very excited. I will be at the California HU event at the end of September in Mariposa.

Welcome to HU Sarguy! You'll find there's loads of friendly and helpful people here, and you get a great chance to meet some of them at the California event.
In the meantime, you've got a lot of reading to do!
For a great intro to adventure travel, check out the HU Achievable Dream Video series! :) We spent two years making it!
