Day 1: Arrive to Chicago, IL

Thursday, April 03, 2025

After touching down at Chicago International Airport we ask you to transfer to your hotel. Chicago, it almost goes out with saying, is one hell of a town; the largest, most vibrant of the Great Lake cities. The city skyline has few peers and down on the streets you’ll find a fantastic selection of world class museums, restaurants and cafes. There is also the city’s famed bar and nightclub scene that is still anchored in an incredible jazz and blues tradition. The fun begins with a Welcome Dinner and drinks with your fellow riders, and ends in one of Chicago's finest hotels. In the morning the long dreamt of journey across Route 66 begins.

Day 2: Chicago, IL - Springfield, IL (Miles:187, Kilometers:301)

Friday, April 04, 2025

Our love for detailed, bullet-point preparations, as well as to open and clear project management and communication is what makes us faster than the competition. Recently we compared a technically similar 10-stories building that we built, and the other built by our main competitor. Their price and pace was 2 times lower than hours!

Day 3: Springfield, IL - St. Louis, MO (Miles:116, Kilometers:187)

Saturday, April 05, 2025

Making our way south, we head towards the state of Missouri on our way to St. Louis, a town rich in history. Along the way, we will pass through a number of Highway towns, which are great places for a stop en route. One thing’s for sure, you should see the famous Dixie truck stop, "Our Lady of the Highway Statue", Litchfield and the "Ariston Café". We will also set aside some time to visit Meramec Caverns as you head for the Mississippi River – a complex of mineral formations which are as rare as they are exquisite. And of course we couldn’t miss the famous "Chain of Rocks Bridge". Now we are properly in Missouri, the state where the Mississippi River meets the Missouri River, and where you can find both forests meet the grassland prairies. It’s a short ride from the state border into the "Gateway to the West," St. Louis, a dynamic and cultured city nestled along the shores of the almighty Mississippi River. You will find not only some of the best live music, but also BBQ ribs in the entire United States in St. Louis. You can also study the magnificent St. Louis Arch from the window of tonight’s accommodations, the centrally located Hampton Inn.

Beautiful country roads in Missouri

Day 4: St. Louis, MO - Joplin, MO (Miles:335, Kilometers:539)

Sunday, April 06, 2025

It’s a nice idea to get up a little early before we hit the road. Take a short walk across the street and marvel at an early morning view of the St. Louis Arch and Mississippi River. Soon after we will have St. Louis in our rear view mirrors as we leave the city for the rolling Missouri hills. You will soon see why this is such a popular stretch for riders, especially after working up an appetite for a lunch stop at a place in the middle of nowhere that serves about the best darn BBQ you will ever eat! Tonight we stay in Joplin, a city still recovering from a massive tornado in 2011. We'll meet some of the locals in the downtown neighborhood and hear some hair-raising stories about how it felt to be in the eye of a deadly tornado!

Projects Completed

Besides valuing your time, your money and your vision for the project, we also value the Mother Nature as well...It cannot be denied anymore, that even the small construction implements the nature in a bad way... That's why we're leading the effort to use only eco-friendly materials and comply with keeping the environment unpollluted by the work we do!
