The Route in 2022

Mission Complete!

I rolled the (still-running) Red One to park out front of the Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel in San Francisco about 11:00am on Tuesday, September 30, 2022. Here is a 7:20 video celebrating that event.

Actual Route Track as Ridden

I extracted GPS data from my Garmin and prepared a Google Map of the entire 2022 journey with key events and locations. You can check it out including zooming in as close as you like by clicking on the image below or click this link.

Live Tracking During the Ride

My Garmin Montana was reporting my position in real time every 10 minutes which could be seen on a web page. However, this live tracking page is no longer available. Instead, you can look at the Google Map showing the route as ridden and extracted from the Garmin.

The 2022 Map:

AABMC Map ThumbnailA map of the planned route for 2022 is available in high-resolution form and corresponds to the table of planned enroute and overnight stops below.

Compared to other long-distance motorcycle events, the pace of this ride was rather slow, but was still be faster than C.K.’s elapsed travel time for the same distance. With some modern safety improvements and performance enhancements, we made much better time over the modern paved roads compared to the 95% dirt and gravel conditions C.K. faced. We averaged about 40 mph on the open road. The planned timeline below is intended to reflect time spent at planned mid-day stops for fuel or other events.
