I'm in the ADV Cannonball Rally!

The ADV Cannonball Rally is the ultimate coast-to-coast adventure motorcycle rally in North America. It runs from one coast to the other — no GPS routing, no pre-planned roads, just a start point, an end point, and 10 days to figure out the middle.

It's been on the list for years. The application went in on a whim. The acceptance email came back faster than expected.

The rally covers 10 states, solo. No chase vehicle, no support crew. Everything you need fits on the bike.

The Ténéré 700 will be the machine for this. 85,000 km on the clock — it's been to Texas, Romania, Türkiye, and Tanzania. America is the next chapter.

The route gets revealed at the start. Navigation is on you. The community is the support system — other riders, other stories, same road.

This will become a film. The prep, the ride, the miles. All of it.
