BCR 03.11.2023
For March, we’re jumping up to Mendocino County to visit beautiful Boonville on a two-county sprint from Cloverdale to Healdsburg. Expect a super-cool start point (seriously), 100 miles of ridiculously curvy roads, beautiful Northern California Scenery™, and a few hundred tonnes of automobiles and the rad people who drive ‘em.
On Saturday, March 11th, 2023 at 8am, we’ll meet at an undisclosed start point in Cloverdale, 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 12:00pm, touching down in Healdsburg.
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.
Additional info:
Drivers must be at least 18 years old. Registration is valid for a single driver (named in the registration application).
Co-drivers (18 or over) who deliver a co-driver agreement , navigators, and passengers welcome.
The drive begins staging at 9am and takes roughly 2.75 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.
