Route 66 celebrates 100 years in 2026, and EAGLERIDER, the motorcycle tour and rental company, is going all-in on the celebrations with a once-in-a-lifetime limited-capacity Route 66 Centennial Tour.
Beginning June 23rd, this 16-day tour will host 66 riders as it travels 2,210 miles across eight states from Chicago to the Santa Monica Pier. Continuing the theme, the tour will hit 66 spots, including iconic Route 66 locations like Cadillac Ranch, the Blue Swallow Motel, and the Arizona ghost town of Oatman. The tour also coincides with the 250th birthday of the U.S.
“Sixty-six riders celebrating Route 66’s 100th anniversary as America marks 250 years – you can’t script this,” said Sebastian Schoepe, CEO of EAGLERIDER. “This ride defines what it means to be a true rider: two great American milestones, one legendary road, and endless adventure. When the numbers align like this, you don’t question it – you twist the throttle.”
