Ride along once again as David Freeze pedals solo along Route 66 from Santa Monica, Calif., to Chicago, Ill. and beyond. Experience "America's most famous highway" as he crosses the Mojave Desert by bike in the extreme temperatures of early summer. David once again embraces the humanity he meets and cherishes the scenery and history of the often challenging long hours along the seemingly endless road. David's writing style is down to earth, enjoyable and often humorous. Jump on the bike as he completes yet another ride of a lifetime, again demonstrating unending confidence through his faith. You will be richer for the experience because you will come away feeling a kinship with those brave souls who pushed America's boundaries on the way to making her what she is today.
