Coast-to-Coast
GPS Motorcycle Rally
Adventure Motorcycle Cannonball
The ADV Cannonball is a modern evolution of two legendary events: the Scooter Cannonball and the Motorcycle Cannonball. Building on that proud tradition, the ADV Cannonball brings an international coast-to-coast rally into the modern era, with an emphasis on overland GPS navigation, endurance, preparedness, self-reliance, and rider skill.
Each day, competitors will leave the official rally hotel at specific times. Navigating by GPX track, competitors will ride on paved and optional unpaved roads to GPS checkpoints, earning points while enjoying a highly curated route. The competitor with the most points at the end of the rally wins. Medals and trophies are presented at the awards banquet.
Each year, the route will change, and "coast-to-coast" will be used creatively for future ADV Cannonball runs. Typically, an 8 to 11-day ride covering between 3,000 and 5,000 miles, the event carries the spirit of its predecessors into new terrain and new challenges.
This event is not for everyone, but everyone is welcome on any motorcycle, scooter, trike, Can-Am, or Morgan 3. There are no handicapping calculations. Scoring is automatically awarded through our GPS phone app, and a live scoreboard is publicly available throughout the event at MotorcycleGumball.com.
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.
Expect self-rescue.
For Glory or Adventure
Riders have various motivations when they decide to participate in this cannonball event. Some are driven by the desire to win, while others are simply looking to explore a carefully planned and well-vetted road or ADV route. Regardless of their reasons, the rewards are equally valuable.
More than half of the participants admit they do not expect to win, yet most strive to earn some form of recognition. Being part of such an event is rewarding in itself, even for those who simply follow the recommended route and gather each day at the finish line and hotel to share their war stories of the road.
An Adventure 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. Our proprietary app electronically tracks checkpoint scoring and daily finish/start times. Riders must provide a “rally phone.”
This is not a TSD rally. It is a checkpoint adventure motorcycle rally. We use our own app for scoring, no silly photos or human judging. Just crush checkpoints, and our system tabulates scores automatically.
Anyone can track the online and real-time leaderboard of the current event at MotorcycleGumball.com.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
ADV Cannonball does not make a dime on any physical products. We partnered with printful.com for these swag items because folks wanted some supercool rally gear. So, when you return something, it goes into the trash, and we get billed for it. So please be sure about this order, and thanks for supporting the rally and podcast!
