## Resource

Irish cyclist Joe Barr just shattered the spirit of adventure by biking 2,400+ miles along Route 66 in just 10 days, 6 hours, and 27 minutes—right before his 67th birthday—and is now waiting to hear if Guinness will crown him world record holder. From 100°F heat and headwinds in New Mexico to tornado warnings in Illinois and rattlesnakes in Texas, Barr faced nature’s fury—but also kindness: wild horses, a police officer’s challenge coin, and a Missouri shop that fed his whole team. Celebrating Route 66’s 100th anniversary, he says he’s left a piece of himself on the road—and called it the ride of a lifetime.
