Cafe On The Route

[Trek420]

I meant a route 66 bike tour.

Why can't I put a happy face here?

I meant a route 66 bike tour.

That's what I was thinking, but then the full distance (2,450 miles) was a bit daunting to me. Although a TE Tour de 66 would probably be awesome. Then we could all travel from cafe to cafe while avoiding chafing and write a brilliant book about it to re-coup the money it took to do the ride in the first place.

I think I've finally stir crazy, the snow's got to melt soon, right? Right?

I think Rt. 66 runs through my family's teeny tiny town in New Mexcio. My Grandfather used to run a Phillips 66 gas station and hotel there.

Sounds good! There's your book; group of strangers organize a 2,500 bike tour to re-discover your Grandpa's gas station.

I've only seen a bit of Route 66 in New Mexico and it is beautiful.

Wouldn't have to do the whole thing, or in parts.

Route 66 runs really close to where I live...if any TE'ers head this way let me know!

[Trek420]

Do you ever ride it? What's it like? How far have you been?

[Flybye]

"Chap"e on the route. Ride that takes place in London.

[Flybye]

Carpe on the route. Sieze the ride.

Carp on the route. Don't run over the huge fish on the bike path.

Sorry - I'll go have some tea and breakfast and wake up now!

I've ridden maybe 50 miles of it on a bicycle and 300 or so on the motorcycle. There are places where it's idylic and places where you sit at a 4-way intersection and look at a WalMart/KFC/Gas Station/McDonalds. I guess living near it has demystified it a bit for me.
