We rode sections of Route 66 in Arizona last year on our way up to New York. Each to their own and all that, but it was pretty boring after a while. We got a few kicks (wahey!) riding alongside mile long trains, seeing a few signs, the odd curiosities and the odd nostalgic gas station. But much of it is boring, repetive and feels insiincere.
I suggest that anyone that goes to the effot and expense of arranging a trip out to America just to ride that road should have a back up plan or two just in case.
The trans american trail seems like a much more interesting ride.
