Written by the company

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. The atmosphere is welcoming, the people are great, and the overall experience is one you walk away from feeling excited about.

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.

Come for the cannonball stay for the interviews

I was skeptical at first some Canadian wants to plan a cross country motorcycle trip. I jumped to the podcast to see if this was legit. The production quality is fantastic, the interviews are legendary. So I signed up. Best decision in years. The route was fantastic, roads I’ve never seen before. The community of riders surpassed the physical effort.

Time of my Life

I stumbled on the podcast and enjoyed listening to real life experiences from more experienced adventure riders. Aaron and Taylor do a great job at asking the right questions and finding the right guests that has me waiting for the next episode to come out. On the rally side, I signed up after hearing the podcast for the first time. After trying to convince some of my friends to go along I stepped out of my comfort zone and went alone and I am glad I did. I met some great people that I now call friends and some amazing riders. The Rally went off without a hitch. Very well planned out and some amazing motorcycle roads, both on and off road. Before the Rally was over I was signed up for next year, ready to take on a bigger challenge, meet new people and reconnect with ones from the first Rally. If you get a chance to do the Rally I would suggest you jump right in. I had the time of my life and cant wait for 2026!

If you’re into adventure motorcycles

If you’re into adventure motorcycles, this podcast is an absolute must-listen. The hosts strike the perfect balance between real-world riding experience and entertaining storytelling. Every episode dives into everything from gear and bike setup to route planning, maintenance tips, and the mental side of long-distance riding. You can tell they actually live the lifestyle — not just talk about it.

What really sets this show apart is the authenticity. The conversations feel like sitting around a campfire after a long day on the trail, swapping stories with friends who’ve actually been there. They have some great guests on also. Love that.

The guests bring a ton of knowledge from different corners of the adventure riding world. It’s informative without being dry, and funny without feeling forced. It always motivates me to get out and ride more.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves riding.
