I ride the ADV Cannonball Rally from coast to coast across the USA. Starting at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, I follow in the footsteps of Cannonball Baker and push my adventure motorcycle through mountains, highways, backroads, and extreme checkpoints on the way to the Pacific Ocean in Los Angeles.
⚠️ ADV Cannonball is coming to Europe 2027! Check out https://www.advcannonball.com
This is not a race to beat the coast to coast record. It's a gps, collect points rally where you get to ride the best roads and trails on your way across the continent.
Along the way you’ll see:
• Adventure bike riding through the Appalachian Mountains
• Tackling off-road checkpoints and extreme routes for big points
• Exploring unique American landmarks, small towns, and hidden backroads
• Long-distance endurance riding across North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California
• The highs, the lows, and what it really takes to finish the Cannonball cross-country rally
If you’re into motorcycle adventures, long-distance riding, and epic road trips, this one’s for you.
On this trip I rode the BMW GS 1250 Adventure

🏍️ What’s the ADV Cannonball?
