A couple of Route 66-related events are approaching in the coming weeks that might be of interest to roadies.
The first is the Down on Main Street event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Route 66 Village, home of the Red Fork commemorative oil derrick, in southwest Tulsa. It is sponsored by the Red Fork Main Street program.
According to the Tulsa World, the event includes:
- The “66 on Route 66” Bike Tour, a 66-mile bicycle ride that includes Red Fork, Oakhurst, Sapulpa, Kellyville and Bristow along much of Route 66. Information about the bike tour can be found here.
- The “Little 66” bicycle rodeo to teach students biking safety and skills and includes timed events on the Milton Stadium track at Webster High School, across from the Route 66 Village.
- Live entertainment by the Round Up Boys, a local western swing band; Travis Kidd, and Brandon Clark.
- Route 66 memorabilia on display.
- Food stands, arts-and-crafts vendors, and a children’s play area.
Proceeds from the event will go to help restore the Route 66 corridor along southwest Tulsa.
Also, on Nov. 14, the San Bernardino Tourism Development Council is marking its 25th anniversary by hosting “A Sunday Drive Down Route 66,” starting at Bono’s Deli in Fontana, Calif., according to the Fontana Herald News.
In addition to Fontana, other stops for pre-paid guests will be in nearby Upland and Rancho Cucamonga. The event runs from noon to 2 p.m.
Registration is required. For more, call Bob Lundy at 909-383-1256.
