The ADV Cannonball is an international 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 and 4000 miles.Everyone is welcome on any motorcycle. There are no handicapping calculations or motorcycle classes.

An excellent podcast for the on and off road rider
I am not an ADV rider, but after registering for the 2025 ADV Cannonball I started listening to the pod casts. They are really good. I think the highest praise is that while I am not always interested in the subject, I end up being interested in the conversation which is always excellent, and I come away having learned something. Highly recommended for ADV riders and anyone who rides a motorcycle with adventure, not necessary off road, in mind.

I listen to every drop!
I listen to every drop! The podcast has built a community of individuals who share the common belief that the sense of adventure must outweigh the fear of the unknown. They interview interesting guests like Elspeth Beard, Lyndon Poskitt, Charlie Boorman and other famous individuals who have pushed the boundaries of adventure motorcycle riding and become legends. The podcast also discusses strategy for the upcoming rallies which are currently being held on two different continents annually.
The hosts of the show don’t always agree with one another, but they have a mutual respect for what each other brings to the table. It is fun and upbeat.

From the quality of the event to the passion behind the brand, everything reflects a genuine love for adventure riding and the community that comes with it.

I share this podcast with friends and gas pump strangers
I’ve been tuning in to the ADV Cannonball podcast for a while now, and I’ve really come to enjoy it. The hosts, Aaron and Taylor, have great chemistry and a genuine passion for adventure motorcycling. Their easygoing humor and down-to-earth banter make every episode entertaining and keep me coming back for more. I love that they release fresh content weekly—especially the interviews with adventure motorcycling legends. It’s fun to hear how each of them connects with their guests and draws out unique stories. I’ve recommended this podcast to several friends and even a few riders I’ve met at the gas pump.
