Dues anyone know or did the 66 rout by bike? Is all the road paved? Do you have a link or map of the road? What would be the best bike to ride it for B&B trip?
Thanks. Nice website.

Do you mean ROUTE 66 from Chicago (Illinois) to Barstow (California)?
[INDENT]It is paved ...
I believe that a lot of it is part of the Interstate system, now; and, frontage roadway may not always be available ...
[INDENT]It seemed as though through a great portion of Missouri it is the original meander between small towns ....[/INDENT]
There is NO frontage road through the Mojave Desert (Kingman, AZ to Barstow) ...
Between Barstow & Long Beach (California), you will probably be hard pressed to find any frontage roads.
[/INDENT]
For the most part, the route is clearly marked with BROWN "Historical Route 66" road signs. -
Don't know how I missed this thread...
Route 66 from Williams, AZ to Ash Fork is none existing. I found a mile of it but that was it. You can pick up the Route again about a mile or so west of Ash Fork and it good all the way to Kingman, AZ.
I live in AZ and am about 25 miles south from Ash Fork.
Good luck and let us know how you do -
BTW. There ARE portions of frontage road through the Mojave, now, which I did not notice in the past which are designated as ROUTE 66 ...
[INDENT]Maybe an entire frontage road is available.[/INDENT]

UPDATE ...
[INDENT]When heading west through the Mojave, ROUTE 66 meanders to the north of I-40 and then down to AMBOY and back north across I-40 (under the highway BOTH times) ...
BTW. Since I really couldn't remember any details other than the viaducts, I searched for a map online and found this:

I checked out that web site and it is pretty informative. I live in AZ so it looks like I'll be riding the Route 66 as mach as I can. Thanks for finding this web site and posting it.
