2/2: Some talks may be in English, typically by English-speaking presenters. Some of the French and German folks may take the opportunity to practice their English with others. Ultimately, everyone makes new friends! Gotta roll with the unexpected and new when travelling. It’s great practice, too.

1/2: Travellers from other countries are welcome to present at any HU event. Naturally, not everyone speaks the same language, but that’s the point of world travel. 😍 Almost all talks at HU France are in French, likewise in German at HU Germany...

Thu-Fri only may be doable. Our organizing team there could figure out fees for a shorter time. Ask for Steve Anderson (Lead Organizer) or Linda Pearce. Thu is when most people arrive/check in. Maybe a talk on Thu eve. Full-steam ahead by Fri. Schedule pending. Venue GPS: N37 23.408 W78 38.445

4/4: "... — just your connection with your bike and the world around you. It clears your mind better than scrolling ever can. Life should be experienced, not just watched on a screen." [Thanks for using #HorizonsUnlimited!]

3/4: "... Work and social media can really zap your brain power. Riding is like a magical portal to a world where you can forget about everything else and just soak in the this moment. There are no notifications, no comparing yourself to others, and no digital distractions... " ⬇️

@donadv.bsky.social The re-skeet is much appreciated, Dusty! Hope you'll make it to any of our events this year and in the future - perhaps with your own adventure stories to share. :)

You mean we like chaos?? 😂 Entropy? True, "adventure" happens when things go wrong.

3/3 "So, he did, but our old Ténéré was loaded to the brim and the tyres were almost flat from riding from Cape Town. The bike eventually sank. It was a lot of hard work to dig it out. Can we say we’d never do it again? Of course not!”
