    From Chicago it's a 1 day (~8 hrs saddle time) to St Louis. Arrival in St Louis depends on departure time and Chicago traffic.

    Thank you, I went through this a few years ago and I'll just say it took a lot of wind out of my sails for about a year. That was 11 years ago. I am hoping that with a bit of support he will be okay. I am really hoping I don't have to change many of my plans.

    Hi everyone. So sorry I have been out of touch. My plans to ride Route 66 this year ran into some barriers. Concern for gas prices being just one. I still plan to ride Route 66 again. Hoping for 2023. When I did it in 2015 with my VTX1300S I took 10 days. I started in Kentucky where my daughter, son-in-law and two grandkids live, so I missed the Chicago staring point. I picker 66 up in St Louis. MO. This time I will start at the official starting point. The app I have been reading about can be found at this link: https://www.route66navigation.com/. My 2015 10 day ride was one way. I spent extra time at the Painted desert, Grand Canyon and LA. Otherwise the one way trip could have been done in 7 days easy. The next time (hopefully 2023), I will drive round trip and take my time. One way on Route 66 and the return on the main highways. Again, sorry I missed the follow-up replies. I will keep my eyes opened for questions.

    Less than a month ago I had the opportunity to follow Rt.66 from Joliet IL to Normal IL. Picked it up just off of I-80 and downtown. mark fairly well. Really great to ride. few spot hard to follow. Sometimes riding a new 2 lane road beside it. Sometime it would be set up for tourist use and sometime disappearing to nature. One time new and old both ran parallel to I-55. Lost it in Normal Ill. Went into town on E.Shelbourne but stopped showing it. Picked it up again south of town on Belch Rd. Had to cut off on to I-74 to head back Home. That was a fun ride. Would have been nice to spend all day on just that one little stretch.

    Rodger Fox from Jacksonville, IL organized "Ride for the Relay" to raise money for cancer research. The ride was route 66. It started in Chicago at the Navy pier and ended at the pier in Santa Monica. I don't think he is doing it any longer, Like most of us age got to be a factor. I have done the ride twice and I think we did it in early September. The "Ride for the Relay" website is still up and anyone that wants information could contact Rodger. He has lots of experience on Route 66. The worse weather I ever encountered was a downpour going into Amarillo, TX, other than that we usually had good weather.
