Welcome to the Mother Road Adventure, you know Route 66. One of the most famous of roads in America !! It is loaded with history, fun and excellent motorcycling. Experience some of the best Americas backroads have to offer. It is easy to dream of days past making the journey from Chicago, IL to Santa Monica, CA.
This tour will take you on the Mother Road, Route 66 and US Interstate 40. The checkpoints will take you through selected places requiring you to ride most of The Mother Road from start to the mid-point and mid-point to the end. A ride of Route 66 cannot see every known point of interest on the road, some are lost in the rubble of the old highway, some are ghost towns, some are on roads that don’t exist anymore or are dirt and uh there are just too many places.
This is a PHOTO TOUR. It requires you to locate checkpoints provided to you and take a photo of yourself, your motorcycle showing its license plate and the checkpoint, a… selfie. There are no secret or hidden places but you must locate them and take the best picture you can.
This adventure requires ELECTRONIC submission. You will use your phone to document your adventure. The phone application that will be used to document your adventure is called: DAY ONE and is available on Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
