My girlfriend has a friend that is interested in going to the River Run and we are looking for someone that would be willing to give her a ride there on their bike and or car? Looking to leave Thursday morning. She really cool and a great person to be around, also she is not too bad to look at either...lol This would be her first trip to Laughlin and also her bike rally. Looking for a fellow biker to help out a bro.

Highland Ave, (East) to Haven Ave. (left) to Banyan ave. (right)(Rancho Cucamonga) to Summit Ave (Banyan turns into Summit Rd. in Fontana) to Cherry Ave (left) to Lytle Creek Rd. (left) to Sierra Ave. (left) to Devore Rd. (right) (Fontana) to Kenwood Ave. (left) to Cajon Bl. (right) to Cleghorn Rd. (Right) (Devore) to State HWY 138 (right) through the high desert, to Summit Valley Rd. (left) turns into Santa Fe Ave. East (Hesperia) to Bear Valley Rd (right) through Victorville to Hwy 18 through Lucerne Valley to Hwy 247 (stay left) to Hwy 62 in Yucca Valley. (left) Hwy 62 through 29 Palms to Mojave Rd. (left) to Amboy Rd. (right) all the way through to route 66 (National Trails Hwy) (Right) go past 40 freeway to Goffs Rd. (make right) to California State Hwy 95 (make left) to Laughlin Hwy 163 (make right) into Laughlin. Its a great route, been doing it for around 7 years. A few stops to wet your whistle and fill up yer belly and tank. Very scenic and pretty decent roads throughout.
Route 66 ran out Foothill in from Irwindale all the way to San Bernardino (Streets changed names and have been covered by part of I-210, but ran pretty much straight through). It turned on "E" St north. It has been cut off to get back on Devore Rd. It ends at the I-15/I-215 merge. Then picks back up at the Baldy Mesa Rd exit. Most is still going up through the Cajon Pass until just before the 138. From there it has been covered by Freeway (I-15) through to Victorville. It picks back up at "D" St and then follows the National Trails Highway to Barstow where it becomes Main St. From the end of Main St, I-40 was built over it but peaks out along the side until you get out to Dagget. It again becomes National Trails Highway. There are signs that mark where Route 66 splits off when I-40 covers Route 66, making it easier to follow. You can follow it, off and on until you get off to go to Amboy. Just make sure you have plenty of gas and good tires. Some of the road is not in good shape. (Be sure to stay on National Trails Highway in Amboy to Goffs Rd, or you will end up riding to I-10). Then you follow Goff Rd north back and go under I-40. Follow Goffs Rd (Marked on the road as Route 66). Now Goffs is at a Railroad crossing. If you watched the movie "Cannonball Run" you will see the store where it was filmed.
Keep following Goffs Rd to 95 Highway North (about 15 miles) and it will have a "T" intersection.
Now this is where you will leave Route 66. To stay on Route 66, you must turn right. But to go to Laughlin, you turn left toward NV. Just across the CA/NV border is 163 on the left. Turn to get to Laughlin.
