Motorcycle Cannonball ā€“ Stage 15 ā€“ Sunday, September 25, 2016

By Spitfire The last day of the Biannual Motorcycle Cannonball was everything but easy. With only 102 miles to travel the riders started leaving at 7:45 am with the first challenge being a 20 mile , 5000 ft climb to the top of the San Bernadino mountain pass. Dubbed the ā€œPalms to Pinesā€ Highway, this route provided a scenic challenge that most overcame. I saw the chase vehicle picking up #104, Perry Ruiter from Canada at mile marker 5, next I saw Ciri Nasi #103 from Italy pushing his bike. Wow, this is going to be a hard climb for him! At mile marker #39 I stopped to visit with Linda Monahan, #39 from California as she awaited the trailer. ...

Motorcycle Cannonball ā€“ Stage 14 ā€“ Saturday, September 24, 2016

By Spitfire Only two more days. Feeling are mixed and I see more hugs this morning. Will it really all be over soon? Tired, battered, worn out and happy. People are talking about looking forward to going home to their families while others, like #20, Dennis Sharon said ā€œWhen we get to Carlsbad, can we just turn around and head back to New Jersey doing the route backwardā€? Today we are prepared for a scorching hot day as we continue to cross the Mohave Desert from Lake Havasu City, AZ to Palm Desert, CA ā€“ just 100 miles from our ending location. 241 miles of hot dry desert meant I was going to bring lots of water and preach electrolytes. ...

Motorcycle Cannonball ā€“ Stage 13 ā€“ Friday, September 23, 2016

By Spitfire Up early and at the starting line was class 1 competitor, #13, Dean Bordigioni. Dean suffered a devastating one-point penalty for a Ā½ mile tow on Stage 10. That tow cost him the #1 spot on the leader board. There is much controversy over the penalty assessment and the mood this morning is tense. Distracting the riders was the weather. Some scraped frost from their seats as the frigid overnight temperatures dropped into the low 30s. Today we will travel 232 miles from William, AZ to Lake Havasu City, AZ with elevations of 400 to 7000 feet. 64 riders started. Much of our route today took us on the Historic Route 66. Riders had fun stopping for pictures ...

Motorcycle Cannonball ā€“ Stage 12 ā€“ Thursday, September 22, 2016

By Spitfire The grind of the Cannonball is apparent as the riders lined up to head out for yet another day. Only 4 days left and today they look forward to a 2-1/2 hour break at the Grand Canyon for lunch and sight seeing. After several 260+ days, the prospect of a 195 mile day is welcome. Whispers of rain and high winds dampened the mood as 67 riders, including all class 1 riders, took off at their scheduled times. The long climb out of Page Arizona created a roadside litter as bikes pulled over to cool, riders pedaled and pushed their machines to the top. The first gas stop at 46 miles was a flurry of activity and fun. ...
