Route 66 was the path of migrants, dreamers and desperados in the 1950s and many of the routes classic restaurants, gas stations and nostalgic landmarks are preserved, just as they were. The people, the stops and the scenery, all lend to the mixture that makes this wonderful road so beautifully addictive. And what better way to see it than on a motorcycle? This amazing motorcycle challenge has accumulated 750,000 miracle miles for Irelands finest childrens hospitals.

This is a bi-annual trip and it has been running since 2002. The total trip takes 14 days and will see our bikers and pillions travel through nine states and four different time zones. You will travel from Illinois through Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and finally California.

To be part of this magic, you need to have a full motorcycle drivers licence and a passion for fundraising! Our bikers are asked to raise €10,000 to take part in this challenge of a lifetime. It might seem like an awful lot but look at it this way thats 100 people donating €100! Not so bad?

As they ride this wonderful road, always on a 66ers mind are the brave little patients that urgently need the best possible care that can be given to them. To date, this fundraising challenge has raised over €5 million for sick children and the impact of this trip is visible throughout the CHI hospitals and urgent care centres. Our big-hearted bikers have helped to redevelop critical wards and purchased vital life-saving equipment.

This truly is one of the most exhilarating motorcycle challenges in the world! Our next trip departs for the United States in September 2022. Are you with us?
