The awards banquet is where the ADV Cannonball Rally stops being a route file and turns into real people, real bikes, and real stories. We’re on stage handing out finisher awards and specialty trophies while the crowd relives the kind of moments only an endurance adventure motorcycle rally can create: unexpected passengers, sketchy timing decisions, and yes, the running joke about how many times riders got pulled over for speeding.
We also give proper credit to the volunteers and organisers who keep a cross-country rally moving, then we dig into what the scoring means. Points are cumulative across events, which can change your future starting position, and we talk through what separates a clean points run from a chaotic one. On the trophy side, we break down the difference between the Checkpoint Crusher award for riders who dominate the paved checkpoints and the Rough Rider trophy for those who collect every off-road stage point, especially when the routes get harder and the mileage gets longer.
Along the way we drop a little “inside information” tease about 2027, hand out a navigation app door prize for getting lost, and honour the Cannonball Baker spirit before crowning the overall winner. If you love adventure motorcycling, GPS checkpoint navigation, and the mental game of long-distance riding, you’ll feel right at home with this one. Subscribe, share this with a riding buddy, and leave a review, then tell us: which award would you chase next year?
