Rules

Please note there are two different Four Corner Tours:  Traditional and True X.  You decide, at your start point, which ride you want to do.  Here is a FOUR CORNERS INTRODUCTION packet especially for new FC riders with a welcome letter and easily printable details of the two Four Corners rides.  

For the Traditional version of the Four Corners Tour, you have 21 calendar days to ride your motorcycle to each of the Four Corner cities of the United States listed below. You may visit the corner cities in any sequence and choose your own route.

For the True X version of the Four Corners Tour, you have 26 calendar days to ride your motorcycle to each of the Four Corner cities of the United States listed below while visiting Lebanon, Kansas, between each corner city. You may visit the corner cities in any sequence and via any route provided you make the mandatory stop in Lebanon, Kansas between each corner city. Under the True X rules, you would make a total of 3 visits to Lebanon, Kansas, and one to each corner city during the course of your Four Corners Tour.

If you finish the True X in under 21 days, your accomplishment will be uniquely identified in the Finisher list, in gold lettering.

Four Corners Tour Checkpoints:

• San Ysidro, California
• Blaine, Washington
• Madawaska, Maine
• Key West, Florida
• True X Only Lebanon, Kansas
  • Geographic Center of the United States
  • Lebanon Post Office or Lebanon Community Center
  • Lebanon Service Station (Cenex)
• You need not return to the first corner city to complete the event.
• No time extensions will be granted under any circumstances.

Your ride commences with the date and time indicated on the Dated Business Receipt (DBR) from the Four Corners Tour city where you elect to start. The date and time from the DBR obtained in the final corner city will mark the conclusion of your Tour. Regardless of the time or time zone on the receipt, both the start and finish days will count as a full day against the time allotted to complete the ride. Be aware that your time allotment is measured in calendar days rather than 24-hour periods based off your start time.

All decisions are made by the Chair of the USA Four Corners Tour, or the SCMA Chairman and are final.

For each required city:

• Take a selfie showing you, your motorcycle, and a clearly identifiable landmark of that corner city.  A Post Office is always a good choice since it shows the city name.
• Obtain a DBR and ensure the city, date, and time of your transaction are legible.  The city on your DBR must be one of the four cities or Lebanon, Kansas.  Take a photo of the DBR with your odometer reading also clearly visible in the photo.

Upon returning home, pair your corner photos and your DBR/odometer photos by location.  Submit your request for certification and your ride documentation via the USA Four Corners Certification Request.  You will be able to select certification with or without swag.  You must be a member to request certification and pay the fee.

Your ride documentation must include the following:

• A selfie (as described above), and a DBR/odometer photo from each corner city – a total of eight (8) photos.
• If riding a True X :
  • A selfie (as described above), and a DBR/odometer photo from each of the three (3) locations in Lebanon, Kansas.
  • Three (3) DBR/odometer photos from Lebanon, Kansas, each of which has a timestamp between two consecutive corner city DBRs.
  • An additional six (6) photos for True X.

Submissions via SpotWalla Track(s) or Day One Journaling mechanisms are acceptable if your photos are included.  Please Note:  Pictures can be included in these submissions via your phone; see the Electronic Ride Journaling page for more details.

Hurricane Exception – if the state of Florida has blocked US-1 to the Florida Keys due to weather conditions, you may use that barrier in place of Key West.  Take the proper selfie at the barrier location and obtain a DBR in the general vicinity of the closure.
