John Steinbeck's book The Grapes of Wrath , documented their travels and troubles. They will even be able to ride the eight foot wide segments that were 'state of the art' in the 1920's but barely wide enough for a single car now. While it is true that the Interstate Highway system replaced much of Route 66, there are hundreds of miles of the original Route still waiting for people to discover. Happily it is not necessary for people to ride the entire 2,448 miles of the road to enjoy what Route 66 has to offer. We have join up points all along the route, so a person can ride as much or as little as they have time for.
Many people take part over several years - traveling the Route in segments rather than all at once.
Early registration is advised.
