Hi,
While it is easy to romanticize Route 66, freeways have altered the reality. Do your homework for some of the route is now freeway. Other sections have died a slow death because a freeway diverted the traffic. Figuring out what parts, if any hold the glamour of the past, compare the route of old with current map. Also, do a search on CrazyGuyonaBike website; I would guess there are some blogs about this route.
Happy trails, Peter
Hi. Haven't tried the route myself, but am considering doing a similar trip next year too! Have you looked at this site: https://www.adventurecycling.org/routes-and-maps/adventure-cycling-route-network/bicycle-route-66/ ?
