Chrome in the Canyons
Breakfast Club Rally presents Chrome in the Canyons, an all-American vintage car rally through the backroads of Sonoma County on Saturday, April 22nd at 8am.
What to expect: a gorgeous startpoint at one of Glen Ellen’s raddest wineries, one hundred amazing miles of asphalt snaking through some of the most majestic Northern Cali scenery around, an endpoint at an amazing winery just outside the town of Sonoma, and of course, a bunch of fine (and scruffy, we’re no snobs) examples of U.S. steel-on-wheels and the awesome people who pilot ‘em.
Before the rally, we’ll meet at 8am in Glen Ellen, CA 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, just a few miles outside the town of Sonoma.
Tickets are $50 (CC & Apple Pay). What does your $50 get you? Only this: a parking sticker, an email with starting time, location, and route directions, and an amazing morning out on Northern California’s best backroads with a pack of like-minded drivers.
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 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 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.
