That's because Caltrans won't give bicycles legal access to use a 144-mile stretch of Interstate 40 between Needles and Barstow. The National Trails Highway is an old route through this region that became Route 66 in 1926. When Route 66 was decommissioned and traffic moved over to I-40, the National Trails Highway fell into serious disrepair. The organization is putting the final touches on the layout and design of the Bicycle Route 66 maps, which are going to print in early February and available in March. Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.
