UltraCycling Magazine goes live with legendary endurance cyclist Joe Barr and Jill Mooney on Sunday, March 1st on Facebook and YouTube! Viewers can join the conversation in the live chat and interact directly with Joe & Jill throughout the show.
In 2066, the iconic U.S. Route 66 celebrates its 100th anniversary — and Joe Barr turns 66. To mark this extraordinary coincidence, Joe is planning an ambitious ride: setting a World UltraCycling Association record by covering the full 2,448 miles of Route 66 from Santa Monica to Chicago.
Joe Barr is widely regarded as one of the greatest ultracyclists of all time. Known for his fierce competitiveness, precision pacing, and mental toughness, Joe has multiple Race Across America finishes and numerous ultra-distance victories to his name. Even in his mid-60s, he continues to redefine what is possible in endurance sport.
Don’t miss this inspiring conversation about legacy, longevity, and one of the most iconic roads in America.
