For over 50 years the Mother Road has been the route of choice for motorists seeking adventure on the open road. And now with this sister book to Adventure Cycling Association's Bicycle Route 66 maps series; the route is destined to become a preferred tour of many bicyclists. Following the commentary within this guidebook you will visit first hand the classic roadside attractions that made the Mother Road one of the most well-known highways in the world, and using the turn-by-turn directions of the Mileage Logs you will never be at a loss for direction. Plus, with the services for camping, lodging, supplies, bike shops, and restaurants listed for each community along the route, you will always have the information needed to plan the next leg of your journey. With most of motorized traffic traveling by Interstates these days, the Great American Highway is well suited for cross-country bicycle touring. And with much of the roadside lodging still remaining, you will have your pick of reasonably priced accommodations where you can rest and sleep at the end of your day's ride.
So grab your bike and get your kicks on your Route 66 Adventure!
It's a real slice of Americana that is surprisingly friendly and inviting as a bicycle route. Much of Route 66 through Missouri was replaced by I-44--meaning that all the traffic is on I-44, leaving much of historic Route 66 as a very bicyclable, low-traffic route.
Where should you go and what will you find there? That is what this new Bicycling Guide to Route 66 will tell you.
