The Irish 66'ers, a group of 64 Irish motorcyclists from Ireland, ride down the Santa Monica Pier on Thursday, October 2, 2014, after completing an eleven day cross country trip on the Mother Road. The Irish motorcyclists traveled 2,448 miles along the historic Route 66 to raise money for the Temple Street Children's University Hospital. Since the first ever Route 66 Challenge in aid of Temple Street took place in 2002, the challenge has raised more than 1.5 million euro in much needed funds for the Hospital.
