from ADV Cannonball · host Aaron Pufal
Send us Fan MailWe kick off a new Roundtable segment to help new riders get ready for a cross-country ADV rally without getting lost in hype. We talk mindset, bike prep, packing, navigation practice, and why chasing points with good judgement beats riding like a hero. • Setting goals that match your real reasons for riding • Staying flexible when the plan falls apart on day one • Choosing a points strategy instead of chasing first to finish • Dealing with curveballs like rain, closures, and mechanical issues • Tire wear, tire plugs, and planning a mid-rally tire change • Packing lighter to reduce wobble, fatigue, and hassle at hotels • Training for back-to-back 600 to 700 mile days • Building a practice rally course with checkpoints at home • Following GPX tracks versus relying on turn-by-turn routing • Remembering that accuracy earns points more reliably than speed • Riding with others for safety, navigation checks, and support • Using local intel to avoid dangerous roads in bad weather Keep posting questions because it gives us lots of great ideas on content.
