RUN OF THE WEEK: Motorcycle Cannonball Endurance Run Friday, September 5, 2014 – Sunday, September 21, 2014 Florida to Washington Motorcycle Cannonball 2014 Route This is the route for the 2014 Motorcycle Cannonball. In working on this route,we have tried to fulfill several criteria: A coast-to-coast route across the United States. We start the run in Daytona Beach, Florida on the worlds most famous beach. We finish the run after 3,938 miles, on the Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. Approximately a two-week schedule. We start on a Friday in Daytona Beach, and finish in Tacoma two weeks later on a Sunday. The route is 17 days total, 16 days on the road, and one rest day in Junction City, Kansas. The day off is on a Friday, a week after the start, a weekday when shops are open. The two days before the start in Daytona Beach we will have registration, vehicle inspection, an optional practice run, a short classroom session, and a hosted welcome reception. Most days 300 miles or shorter. Our goal was for all days to be at most 300 miles, but in some areas there just arent enough cities at appropriate locations with sufficient hotel rooms for a group our size. Two days are longer, both are after the rest day. The typical schedule for a 300 mile day ,assuming the motorcycle maintains 50 mph on straight flat roads, will be an 8:00 am start and a 4:00 pm finish, for a total of 8 hours on the road. This schedule includes a 45 minute lunch break ,and three 15 minute refueling breaks. Time will also be set aside for viewing scenic and historic sites. Short days for the Start and Finish. The first and last days will each be the shortest days, with a late morning start in Daytona Beach, and a mid-afternoon grand finish in Tacoma.
