Chix on 66 – Day 4 Chicago to Pontiac, IL

Posted byKaran AndreaPosted inUncategorized

Sunday, June 12: Chicago to Pontiac

This is day one of the actual Route 66 ride. Easy day – 100 miles to Pontiac, IL. Leaving the city on a Sunday morning was a easy peasy – no traffic to speak of – I suppose the throng of night people who jammed up the roads the previous evening were still lounging in their beds when we rumbled by.

We stopped at the Launching Pad for lunch and a snap with the Gemini Giant, made some other stops for photos, and then rolled into Pontiac where there was a band and people waiting to welcome us. Really fun day!

I ride motorcycles, I live motorcycles, and I write about motorcycles. Both of my blogs are written for motorcyclists: atomicshovel.blog tells the never-ending story of my 1974 Harley-Davidson FLH, which I have named the Atomic Shovel. My other blog coachk.home.blog is written for riders of all skill levels, but is primarily aimed toward the rider who is transitioning from the riding range where they learned basic skills, to the open road. This blog address the most common questions I see in the online groups and forums: dealing with anxiety - yes, that is the number one question, navigating traffic, parking, holding your bike on an incline, just to mention a few. Much of what I write is simply drawn from my own experiences - successes, failures, do-overs. Nothing in either blog should be construed as the absolute one and only approach; rather, look at them as a starting point for your own discovery process.
