Well - here we go it is 2016 and the news of the day is ALL provinces are now on board. I have a few volunteers who agreed to help me. We now have rides for every single province in place.
Think about it - imagine on two weekends a year riders all across Canada can now dedicate a few days to...
Online Registration is now in place for those who wish to pre-register by province.
Please visit the website to register - We will have a draw for something very nice from one of the sponsors from those that register ahead of time.
I realize it is very close to Christmas and many of us have the festive season on our minds, which is a good thing perhaps however many of us are also drooling about our next rides coming up in the spring. The snow has yet to hit however it will be here soon enough.I ran into snow actually...
Hello all, The ride is now running in 5 provinces, Northwest Territories kicked in yesterday. Imagine how nice that would be to ride in Yellowknife for the last Cannonball of the season :)
In any event to answer the persons question above, I only saw one police cruiser and it was on a major...
Great news here. The decision to make this a spring and fall ride has been confirmed. I have built out a new ride called the cannonball 500 lite. What this means is quite simple, a 500 km ride with all of the same features as the hardcore 800+ km ride. Since the days are shorter, and keeping...
Re: Cannonball 500 - Iron Butt Ride - First Inaugral Ride behind us now!
Technically yes - however it would not be considered a Cannonball 500 ride date. SO you could do it - keep your receipts and you would qualify only for the Iron Butt Certificate - that you have to send away for to them...
Re: Cannonball 500 - Iron Butt Ride - First Inaugral Ride behind us now!
Lots of people attended the first - in Ontario alone 550 registered onsite at the dealerships! Waiting on the rest of the provinces to send me their stats. It was an interesting day and I hope despite the obvious start up...
All of the roads are paved. Any bike can do this. It is not speed that will complete but constant riding and short stops that will win. Tortoise and the hare approach.
Re: Cannonball 500 Continues to Grow!
I suppose you could say that - however what makes you think they are going to have police hanging out in Wilno or anywhere else for that matter. The original Cannonball Run had Helicopters watching. I really dont think the police will bother and if you...
Just chimming in here- 8 days to go until the Cannonball 500 takes off in your back yard. Barrie HD is the starting point for riders in Barrie.
Hope to see you all there - www.Cannonball500.ca should be a blast!
Re: Cannonball 500 Continues to Grow!
I attended the Peterborough Cycle Bike night last in Peterborough - great time - I gave away three Cannonball 500 Helmets as the mystery draw prizes. I would think those that won them would be quite pleased.
We are only 8 sleeps away from riding some of...
Cannonball 500 was there last night - We gave away 3 helmets as the mystery draw - good haul to promote the event I would think - Cheers, Hope to see many of you at the www.Cannonball500.ca ride!
Re: Cannonball 500 Continues to Grow!
You should follow the route as noted otherwise trust me you may not make the timeline. This is just a fun ride and you are obviously not being watched as to which route you are taking etc. however the pure joy of this ride is seeing some of the nicest roads...

Manitoba is in the works. Route chosen filling in dealers now. Also put together a great ride for anyone from the ottawa area. If interested in being the coordinator for the ottawa run drop me an email from the cannonball 500 website. We can run this on the...
