It will really enable people to be part of the journey with us,” continued Orr.

In recent years, Route 66 has experienced a revival in popularity, due in part to television programmes such as Billy’s Connolly’s 2011 ITV special. Jim McDermott, Marketing Director of The Lost Adventure, Ltd, explained the idea behind “Route 66 Live”: “We speak to so many motorcyclists whose dream it is to ride Route 66. They have images in their minds from films, books and television, but they want to know what it’s really like. So we’re riding 66 and sharing the experience online, as it happens. We’ll be posting an unprecedented wealth of Route 66 photos, videos and stories both during and after the ride, and some other surprises.”
