Coast-to-Coast
GPS Motorcycle RALLY
October 6th, 2025
Adventure Bike Cannonball
The ADV Cannonball is a coast-to-coast motorcycle rally with an emphasis on overland GPS navigation, endurance, preparedness, self-reliance, and rider skill. Each day competitors will leave the official hotel at specific times. Navigating by GPX track, competitors will ride on paved and optional unpaved roads to checkpoints earning points while enjoying a highly curated and painstakingly vetted route. The first competitor to arrive at the final checkpoint will be awarded additional points each day. The competitor with the most points at the end of the rally wins. The rally organizers will award additional points for special achievements and extreme checkpoints that will be revealed throughout the event.
Each year the route will change and “coast-to-coast” will be used creatively for future ADV Cannonball Runs. Typically an 8-11 day ride and between 3000-3500 miles. Contact us if you have any suggestions.
Everyone is welcome on any motorcycle. There are no handicapping calculations or motorcycle classes.
This is not a race.
Self Supporting
Support crews and/or chase vehicles are not permitted.
Riders must rely on themselves or resources that anyone could use along the route. For example, popping by a motorcycle shop, ordering items online, or calling AAA is perfectly fine, however, calling a family member to bring you warmer gloves from home would be unsportsmanlike.
Unsportsmanlike conduct earns competitors a 50-point deduction or disqualification.
For Glory or Adventure
Riders will have different motivations when choosing to embark on this cannonball. Whether it’s the glory of the win or simply to travel a well-planned and uniquely vetted ADV route, it doesn’t matter, the rewards are just as valuable.
An ADV Bike Rally for GPS
Gone are the days of late nights with a highlighter, calculator, and a paper roadbook. Simply load the GPX route and checkpoints on your GPS or smartphone App and hit the road to ADV Cannonball victory. The Richta Rally app electronically tracks checkpoint scoring and daily finish/start times.
This is not a TSD rally. It is a checkpoint adventure motorcycle rally.
