BCR 02.11.2023
On offer for February: a gorgeous starting location for the pre-rally social hour; 100 stirring miles of backroads from valley vineyards to the coast; the debut of a beautiful new mid-point venue; and lunch/wine/good times waiting for everyone at our start/endpoint host venue.
Before the rally, we’ll meet at 8am at an undisclosed start point just outside the town of Sonoma, California 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 12:15pm, finishing up right where we started.
Old and/or interesting cars (& people) of most makes and models are welcome; see exceptions listed below. 80% of the rally will be vintage vehicles, and the remaining 20% will be modern vehicles.
Order the rally decal.

Co-drivers (18 or over) who deliver a co-driver agreement , navigators, and passengers welcome.
The drive begins staging at 9am and takes roughly 3.25 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 the week of 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 generally pretty smooth; 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.
