BCR 06.11.2022
On Saturday, June 11th, we’re off on a driver’s drive through Solano, Napa, Lake, and Sonoma Counties- a couple hundred tonnes of awesome automobiles riding through beautiful rural Northern California over ribbons of asphalt 100+ miles long.
Before the rally, we’ll meet at 8am at an undisclosed start point in Fairfield (less than an hour’s drive from just about everywhere, including San Francisco, Sacramento, Santa Rosa, Marin, Sonoma, Napa; just over an hour from San Jose) for a little pre-rally social hour. At 9am, we’ll take off in 3 groups (HARE, TORTOISE, and SNAIL groups) 5 minutes apart; we’ll be done around noon, touching down in Sonoma.
Register below. Old and/or interesting cars (& people) of most makes and models are welcome; see exceptions listed under “How to Register.”
Registration is CLOSED.
Additional info:
This event is free, though contributions are encouraged.
Drivers must be at least 18 years old. Registration is valid for a single driver (named in the registration application).
Co-drivers welcome: fill out appropriate section of registration form.
Please give the surrounding shops your business and tip well- let’s not be freeloaders.
Don’t make us say “no burnouts.” You’re better than that, right?
The drive begins staging at 9am and will take a max of 3 hrs. Drive at a speed comfortable to you, taking into consideration weather and road conditions, always yield to quicker vehicles, and never pass on a double yellow line.
A link to download turn-by-turn directions will be sent a week before the drive. Read them. Learn them. Know them. Live them. Don’t rely on the person in front of you to know where they’re going- they don’t.
Roads are pretty smooth the whole way; usual bumps and such, nothing major.
Gas up prior to arriving at the starting location; limited gas stations along the route.
Cell reception unavailable in some areas.
People live and work in these areas we drive through. Be courteous to business owners, employees, homeowners, ranchers, cyclists, pedestrians, pets and livestock you encounter- let’s keep BCR welcome in the area.
Once the rally ends in Sonoma, consider hitting Gundlach Bundschu Winery for Huichica Music Festival, possibly the North Bay’s chillest and most unique music experience - truly, peak Sonoma County vibes. Grab your tickets here- entering code BCLUB at checkout will get you 15% off and free preferred parking (BCLUB code includes parking, your name will be on a list at festival entrance).
