• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

You should considering posting the dates of the route, section by section.
You might find others willing to meet up with you for a section near them. (y)
 
I will post the days where I will be. I was going to do 300 miles a day, but I am cutting it down to 200-250 a day. I do plan on going to Madrid, where they filmed Wild Hogs, and to Maggies Restaurant and the Mine Shaft Tavern (the Del Fueso bar).
 
This is the 100th Year of Route 66. Most of the States are trying to 'Do it Big'. I know that Missouri has been particularly planning the last four years. Now Arizona is on board.
The starting point in Chicago has a
Refresh as per the internet. I have seen
Lots of information online. Definitely going to be a major event this year.

I too have this on my possible 'someday' travel list. But life is getting
tuffer every month. I will enjoy your posts about this trip.

Stay Healthy and Enjoy your Time.
 
June in the South West can be heat challenging. I would go to Las Vegas in mid June then kept moving up to May. Even April in AZ can be warm. Good luck. A friend and I would like to do 66 sometime as well
 
Definitely do your homework about the weather. New Mexico and Arizona are not very friendly on the weather.

Anyway enjoy your Trip on Route 66.
 
+1 on weather for temperature in the deserts. We left Flagstaff, AZ, in late June: it was lower 50's. By the time we reached the Colorado River, crossing on I40 down the mountain from Kingman, AZ, that day, it was 110°F! At 200-300 miles a day, you should be able to avoid mid-day riding.

Have an enjoyable and memorable adventure!
