Day 24 (Monday) - Get your kicks on Route 66

Okay, I've extracted about all the cool factor I can by riding my bike on route 66. The first part of it near Pontiac, IL felt like a historic road. We could even see a decaying second lane in the grass next to us. Now, near Springfield the road is in better condition though it seems like any other road. It is still a lot more direct to get to the Transam route than the northern tier/great rivers route Mag had planned originally, though.

We got up at 0530 and left the campground by just after 6 to beat the heat. We are riding on historic route 66 towards St Louis. We just pulled over to get a little breakfast on the road.
