The Santa Monica Police Department and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) escort the Irish 66ers down the Santa Monica Pier on Thursday, October 2, 2014. The irish 66ers completed 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. #Route664TempleStreet #RollOn2016
