Book excerpt: 'Every time I have ridden 66, within 10 miles of setting off, I never want that ride to end. I think it's because Route 66 encapsulates struggle, and, ultimately, triumphing over unimaginably difficult conditions. I think everyone can connect with that.' RIDING ROUTE 66 follows Henry Cole as he travels along Route 66, on a journey of self-discovery. Route 66, or the 'Mother Road', is one of the most famous roads in the USA. Crossing the width of the country, it is an immensely challenging road to travel. Henry has ridden it four times. This book is about the freedom that only the road and a motorcycle can give you, and the importance of embracing the highs and lows of life equally. Henry is one of the most well-known figures in motorcycling, having presented over twenty series of many TV shows as well as being the founder of bespoke motorcycle manufacturer Gladstone Motorcycles.

In 2011, he found himself with a chunk of free time, so he decided to travel Route 66 from start to finish and to record his adventures along the way. That first trip wound up being the first of 10 that Sam took gather the information and take the photos that appear in the book. During his travels, Sam reviewed many different Route 66 resources. He found that those with the most information about Route 66 often did not have many photos, and when photos were included, they were black-and-white rather than color. Books with color photographs tended to be short on information. Some books were narrowly focused, such as those limited to listings of restaurants and motels. He found only a single guidebook of Route 66 dedicated motorcycle riders, and as useful as it was, it was 10 years out of date. The Motorcycle Party Guide to Route 66 puts all this information in a single volume. But it is more than just a simple directional guide and listing of Route 66 sites. This book is about how to explore the best of what Route 66 has to offer and about having as much fun as possible during that exploration. The book includes Sam's personal experiences in visiting traditional sites as well as his recommendations regarding the sites worth seeing, the sites worth skipping, the bars and restaurants worth visiting and the motels that offer the best Route 66 experience. He gives an honest, rather than romanticized, description of what Route 66 explorers will find today, as well as information on traditional Route 66 icons that have disappeared. He also chronicles many of his Route 66 adventures, like when he was in Joplin, Missouri, on the morning of the 2011 tornado that destroyed several square miles of homes and businesses. There also was the time he accidentally locked himself out of his hotel room in St. Louis dressed only in his birthday suit.
