In the early evening we got to Chicago, we were just a little excited. We were at the beginning of the historic Route 66.
We jumped in a taxi and asked them to take us to the Best Western in Countryside, Illinois.
I had pre-booked us into a motel that was walking distance to Illinois Harley-Davidson who were the Eagle Rider location at the time.
Once booked in we had a short walk for some dinner. Rafferty’s Pub and Restaurant was nearly directly across the road. After having a feed it was time to have a rest we had been on the go for about 25 hours.
