Route 66 Adventure.

This cross country trip on my Harley has been in my head for years. Originally, I was going to take it in the spring of last year but cancer got in the way. Earlier this year I decided to do the LiveStrong Challenge so it got put off until now. It is a dream come true, one of many that I am blessed to have experienced.
I dedicate this trip to Patti, my favorite wife, who I'm sure doesn't always understand but always loves and supports me.
It is also dedicated to my friend, Sue, as she recovers from a serious bicycle accident. LiveStrong Sue!
I hope that all of you will enjoy the trip along with me!

Beautiful Illinois Sunday
This was another picture perfect day. Breakfast included a 2 1/2 hour presentation by Michael and Suzanne Wallis, a couple that has made Rte 66 their lives for the past 41 years. He has written several books on it and they have traveled it extensively. Very interesting and informative, giving us a heads up on what we can and should see between here and Tulsa. They will meet us there again and outline Tulsa to California.
A few of the bikes
This morning was bike wash since it was a real mess after the rain on Friday then myself and one of my riding partners ( a lawyer from Saudi Arabia and Michigan) went for a little (200 mile) ride into the Illinois countryside. LOTS of flat farmland! Tonight is for packing, going to a spin class in the early morning then we hit the road and head southwest at 8:30am!
