Crawdaddy 96 Posted October 7, 2011 I was approached to speak at the event but I'm having my gallbladder removed this Monday so I'm out..... Here's some background info on Horizons and the event: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mike Dimond Date: Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 10:50 AM Subject: Horizons Unlimited California Travelers Meeting - 2011 To: crawdad996@cox.net Hi Chris, I'm the host of the Horizons Unlimited California Travelers' Meeting. I'm guessing you may be familiar with HU (if not, I’ve included some information at the end of this email.) The meeting is an annual weekend gathering of motorcycle travelers (about 250 this year, on the Central Coast, Oct 14-16) where we exchange information and tales of our adventures. Details of the meeting schedule are on the Registration Page. Several presenters have been added to the schedule since the last web update, including: Nicole Espinosa - Solo woman adventurer Coach2Ride - off road riding skills Alisa Clickenger - Adventure traveler Clement Salvadori of Rider Magazine, Roger Toevs of ADVrider.com, Carla King - Author, photographer and adventurer Henry Tate - Million mile traveler, Chris Sidah of Rider Magazine, Erdem Yucel - RTW traveler. Our goal for the meeting is to offer presentations that give the attendees solid and useful information to help them successfully plan and complete their motorcycle travels. To that end, we'll be offering presentations on flat tire repair, road side emergency mechanics, first aid, motorcycle ergonimics, cooking on the road and off road riding skills, among others. I've noticed your new web site, and several of the presenters have suggested I contact you about offering a presentation on GPS. Every time I mention the idea to someone they respond "I could really use that", so I feel confident that there would be a lot of interested people at the meeting. While a 45 minute talk is not going to make anyone a GPS expert, a solid introduction along with a chance to ask questions would be very helpful, and it would give you the opportunity to introduce our group to the services you are offering. If you think you might be interested, give a call or an email and we'll figure something out. If not - maybe you'd just like to take a ride to Cambria in October and spend a weekend on the coast. We'd love to have you! Best regards, Mike Dimond Local Host Horizons Unlimited California Meeting - 2011 805 674-1496 Horizons Unlimited Horizons Unlimited is an online community of motorcyclists who have an interest in long distance travel.
