The USA Four Corners Tour is a self-guided and self-paced ride of roughly 7,000 miles. It forms a lap of the contiguous United States by requiring stops in San Ysidro, California; Blaine, Washington; Madawaska, Maine; and Key West, Florida. Riders will have 21 calendar days in which to visit those four cities using a route of their choosing. A pace of 400 miles per day leaves plenty of time for sightseeing and side trips while accomplishing the Tour in 18 days with three contingency days.
For those seeking a more difficult quest and/or more exposure to the heartland states, we offer the True X version of the USA Four Corners Tour. The True X version adds a visit to Lebanon, Kansas, (the geographical center of the contiguous US) between each corner city after the first. This increases the ride distance to roughly 11,000 miles and correspondingly the time allowed for completion is increased to 26 calendar days. A pace of 500 miles per day would complete the Tour in 22 days with 4 contingency days but you are almost certain to consume at least one of those contingency days for cycle maintenance. As an extra incentive, those who complete the True X version in 21 or fewer calendar days will have the honor clearly identified in the True X Finisher’s List.
Four Corners Park in Madawaska, Maine, is the only park in the world dedicated to long-distance motorcycle riding. Madawaska has been a required stop on Four Corners since the ride became available in 1984. The Park is the culmination of a vision by Mainer Joe LaChance and his wife Diane, and Four Corners riders have been contributing since the Park was created.
Walkways within the Park are composed of granite pavers rather than the usual asphalt or concrete. Many of these are engraved with the visitor’s name and a message relating to their visit. Purchase of a paver offers a unique opportunity to support the ongoing operation of the Madawaska Four Corners Park as well as leaving a lasting impression visit.
The mail-in form to order a Four Corners Park paver is here, or you can call the Park Association at (207) 436-7450 to discuss customization details or place an order.
In Lebanon, Kansas, the US Center Foundation maintains the Geographic Center Park, encompassing the parks grounds, chapel, monument and parking area. It also manages the Lebanon Visitor and Community Centers (where some SCMA names were engraved in a past offering), the downtown park and the century-old Town Hall on Main Street.
If you’d be interested in supporting the ongoing maintenance and improvements at the Geographic Center Park and other community assets in the Lebanon area, you might consider a donation to the US Center Foundation. The donation page on their website supports both secure online and mail-in donations and allows you to earmark your donation for the Geographic Center Park if desired.
