Default Route 66 Trip

Several of us have been talking about making a Route 66 road trip next year. Anyone ever do this? Any tips, etc.
Thanks.

I have made the trip.

Get all the books you can find on traveling the Road. Michael Wallis has a good one out.

Plan on no more tha about 200 to 250 miles per day if you reall intend to see the road. A lot of it is hard to find and requires some backtracking. You might go 20 miles just to ride on 3 miles of the road, and then go that 20 miles back. There are also a lot of things to see if you seek thm out, and that will take a lot of time.

It is a great experience if you don't rush it and miss a lot of things.

Bill
