Follow on Google News | The Real Cannonball 2016 RoutesBy: Motor-Scooter International Land-Speed Federation There are two (2) principal routes from Imperial Beach, CA to Madawaska, ME. The northern most route, Interstate 70, is 3,272 miles in length. The southern route, Interstate 40, is 3,477 miles in length. The difference is 205 miles. The savings in miles and time taking I-70 may be more than the approximate 4 hours of usual dri...ving time, as many parts of I-40 have been, and may still be, under construction. A third route, constructed using I-40 as far as Knoxville, TN, a distance of 2,218 miles from Imperial Beach, CA, would then head to Boston, MA on I-81 (932 miles), and from Boston, MA to Madawaska, ME on I-95 (443 miles) for a total distance of 3,593 miles. This route is 321 miles longer than I-70, but completely eliminates traveling in Canada. MSILSF's Pres/CEO Alan Spears, who raced The Real Cannonball that started from the Red Ball Garage on May 4th 2013, says ". . . taking I-40 across, the most picturesque parts of the journey were passing through the Smokey Mountains, and Flagstaff, AZ. My ride through the Smokey Mountains was mostly in fog and drizzle!" Spears goes on to say: "At this extremely early juncture my premature prediction is I will race on I-70, as I have never crossed the Rockies by land." Anyone wishing to chime in and have your comments posted on MSILSF's website, please send them to Alan Spears at msilsf@yahoo.com, and put "Cannonball Comment" in the subject box. End
