Overview

Embark on an unforgettable ride down the legendary Route 66, ""The Main Street of America"" and the beloved ""Mother Road,"" in this richly detailed and deeply personal travel memoir. At age 66, author John Rosbrugh sets out on an extraordinary bicycle journey from Santa Monica, California, to Chicago, Illinois-an EPIC Adventure covering 8 states, 57 days, and more than 2,200 miles of iconic American landscape. Drawing from his meticulously kept daily journal, he invites readers to experience the adventure as he lived it: the triumphs and trials of long distance cycling, the rhythmic unfolding of each day on the road, the quirky roadside attractions, vintage motels, classic diners, unexpected wildlife encounters, and the moving glimpses of an Americana that lingers-weathered, proud, and timeless. Supported by his dedicated SAG partner and wife whose behind the scenes logistics made the journey possible, the author brings to life not only the physical challenge but also the emotional resonance of pursuing a dream at a milestone age. More than a cycling chronicle, Bicycling Route 66 is a celebration of perseverance, discovery, and the enduring magic of America's most storied highway. Perfect for lovers of travel, nostalgia, cycling adventures, or anyone who has ever wondered what waits beyond the next bend in the road.
