Here is a link to my day by day recount of the trip: • Scooter Cannon Ball Run
Here is a list of 10 things/tips that might help you be better prepared to do the scooter cannonball run.
1. Get a fast bike. You need to be able to keep up.
2. Go slow in small towns. Avoid speeding tickets.
3. Stay at the event hotel each night.
4. Know how to change your tires, belt, rollers, air filter, oil.
5. Get to starting line 2 days early.
6. Bring an air mattress if you are going to share accommodations.
7. Stay on the main route.
8. Leave every day early.
9. Parts of the run are dangerous, be prepared for a break down in a remote location. Ride according to the conditions (gravel vs paved roads)
10. (I forgot what I had said, and oddly the video cut off. I'm sorry!)
