The best-loved comedian in Britain hits the most famous highway in the world on an unforgettable journey. Billy Connolly music-lover biker and scourge of the beige and bland the world over has dreamed about taking a trip on the legendary Route 66 since he first heard Chuck Berry belting out one of the greatest rock n roll records of all time. And now hes finally had the chance to do it heading out on his custom-made trike in search of the real America that can still be found beyond the nations freeways. Travelling every one of its 2 278 miles from the skyscrapers of Chicago to Santa Monica Pier in California Billys journey takes him past many of the essential icons of the United States: the Gateway Arch in St Louis Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon and the funky neon-lit gas stations
and diners that once lined the route. But it also gives him the chance to get to know the people who call it home from Mervin the Amish carpenter to fellow banjo enthusiast and obsessive instrument collector Rob to Angel one of the many people determined to keep the spirit of the Mother Road alive. Funny touching and inspiring in equal measure the tales he gathers on the way tell the story of modern America. And they might inspire a few people to get on their bikes as well. With his unrivalled instinct for a good story and the gregariousness that has made him our most engaging national treasure Billy Connolly is the ultimate guide to the ultimate road trip.
