John Steinbeck called it the "Mother Road" in his 1938 novel "The Grapes Of Wrath" for its part in taking the dustbowl survivors to the new promised land.
It was also called America's Main Street since it connected small towns from Chicago to Santa Monica.
We all grew up with it and well it is almost April and time for a ride.
We hope to retrace as much as possible of the old road, since it was decommissioned it no longer appears on most maps. Thanks to the interest in Route 66 there are plenty of resources to help us find the remains of the road

Well, it's that time again...the night before you take off and leave us to face the real world without you. And also leave us worrying until we actually see you ride up on the Harley, everything intact. Ok, and leave us feeling a little jealous too! How soon can I retire?! I asked my husband for a bike for my birthday, but the response I got was-what color 10-speed?
Have another great, memorable ride! Can't wait to read all your blogs and see the pictures!
Love you lots!!!!!
