    Default Iron Butt

    I 'm heading out on 3000+ mile ride in April. Going from san Diego Ca. to Tulsa Ok.( visit brother) then to San Antonio TX. (visit friend) then back to San Diego.
    I have no time line for the trip, following the original RT. 66 as much as possible, I will stop when I want and where I want.

    I'm looking for suggestions on trip suggestion, equipment , sights to see and anything else.

    Trip safety and long distance suggestions and info can be found at the Iron Butt Archive of Wisdom
    I've travelled parts of that route by bus and truck but never by Spyder, count yourself blessed to be able to enjoy the route.
    And I'm guessing you've already visits sites like https://www.historic66.com/

    Default Route 66

    If you have AAA they have a good map of Route 66. Also they offer a Trip Book for a price.

    Default WATER

    WATER, carry water ALWAYS....
    crossing AZ & NM, ride on the HALF TANK RULE... when you are down to half a tank of fuel, and you see a gas station, STOP & FILL UP.... if you don't already have a WET-VEST, get one... CYCLE-GEAR has them, as well as other companies... it's a 'given' that you'll over-heat, and the wet-vest is an absolute necessity even in April... consider SUN BLOCK for any exposed skin....
    ride carefully, enjoy and keep us posted...
