π΄ββοΈ PACIFIC, LET'S GIVE JOE BARR A BIG WELCOME! π΄ββοΈ
As many of you know, 2026 is a huge year as we celebrate the Route 66 Centennial, and now we have another reason to celebrate Pacific!
On Tuesday, June 9, at approximately 1:45 PM, Joe Barr will be making a stop in Pacific during his attempt to set a Guinness World Record by cycling the entire length of Route 66 in just 8 days.
Joe plans to complete the route on his 67th birthday, making this an incredible test of endurance and determination. He has scheduled only a few hours of rest for the entire journey from Chicago to California, and approximately 4 of those hours will be spent right here in Pacific.
Joe and his crew will be stopping at The Landing Hub for a well-deserved break, and he is looking forward to meeting the people of Pacific. Whether you are a resident, cyclist, Route 66 enthusiast, or simply someone who loves a great story, we invite you to come out and welcome him.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase as we celebrate Joe choosing Pacific as one of his official stops along Route 66. Before heading back out on the road, Joe will make a quick stop at Red Cedar Inn for a photo to help document his journey across America's Mother Road.
Please help us spread the word! Tell your friends, family, neighbors, cycling groups, and fellow Route 66 fans. Let's show Joe and his crew the hospitality Pacific is known for and give them a warm Pacific welcome.
