The Mother Road is turning 100 this year and The Scenic Ride is celebrating with a two-part series featuring all the can’t-miss stops. In the first part, hosts Sanna, Staci, and Davin take you through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. They also talk about their top tips for planning a Route 66 road trip, from when to travel to how to rent a bike for a one-way journey. 

If you like americana, quirky roadside attractions, classic neon signs, and mid-century architecture, this is probably the best road trip in the world!
