Story: The Scooter Cannonball Run is a coast to coast endurance event traveling over 3600 miles for scooters up to 250cc. It takes place every 2 years. It is a time/distance rally where points are awarded based on miles completed and the ability to maintain the standard pace. The 2008 Scooter Cannonball loosely follows Highway 50 ("The Loneliest Road in America) from San Francisco California to Ocean City Maryland.

I kept a daily blog of my participation in the 2008 Scooter Cannonball Run at http://cbr08.blogspot.com/
