Welcome to our day of preparation for the exciting Route 66 Motorcycle Tour.  This once in a lifetime journey, with it's unique riding experience, along the most famous two-lane highway in America, could change your life for the better. Your opportunity to visit with new friends, the experience of a legendary road featured in many iconic films and television shows like the one highlighted by Billy Connolly recently.  The sights and sounds of a history long forgotten by the modern age, along with the vastly diverse scenery of a landscape most have never seen, will remind us of days gone by.

Day 2: San Diego, to Blythe, California

Our group will aim our heady iron horses northeast through the pine valley to the Salton Sea, and then on to our first museum stop at a World War Two Memorial Museum.  This is a great time to reflect and consider the bravery of the men and women of the Second World War.  After this stop we all continue east for our first experience of the vast rural expanse of the open roads. On this our first day of the Route 66 Motorcycle Tour, we head along the highway into Blythe for a well earned rest and spend our second night.  The outdoor pool might entice the brave for a swim before we get changed and head out for dinner.
