At long last, I got back on the I-40 - this time illegally and finished this ride into Barstow. One takeaway from this experience is more anger at the California Department of Transportation who I blame in part for my accident. Route 66 in many segments of its route across California is in a horrible state of preservation. You may not notice it so much in your car, but a cyclist notices every crack and crevice. They are aplenty on California's portion of this historic road. Shame on them for not maintaining this piece of Americana!
