Northern Kentucky Driving Tour
April 21 @ 9:00 am
As the weather is warming and the cars are coming out of hibernation, it’s time for another drive in the country, taking the back roads and twisties of Northern KY on April 21st, 8:30am to about 3pm. Like we done in the past, this will be casual drive, with a stop for BBQ in the middle and a gathering at the end for those that are interested.
Preregistration is required via this Google form. This is necessary to get an accurate count of drivers and guests, and to determine drive groups and staffing at the restaurant.
The BMW CCA Electronic Waiver is required via this link.
Note: Preregistration DOES NOT take the place of driving event waivers and wristbands. All Participants MUST sign the waiver form and get a wristband BEFORE starting the tour.
The tour will originate at Biggby Coffee in Taylor Mill, KY, located off of I-275 at Exit 79. We will meet at 8:30am, get situated, fueled up, confirm waiver signatures, and drivers can begin the route around 9:00am. The morning segment is 87-miles southeast to Falmouth, KY where we will stop for lunch at The Smoking Pig Tavern.
There is a large parking lot around the block across the street from the Tavern that can accommodate everyone (destination noted in the directions). The Smoking Pig has a great selection of pork, chicken and brisket sandwiches, plus snacks, sides, and burgers that should satisfy everyone’s built up hunger. Take a look at the menu!
After lunch, we’ll continue meandering generally northwest, for 57-mile afternoon segment to Cold Spring, Kentucky for a final gathering at Barleycorn’s Cold Spring. Parking is located directly in front of the building. You can also feel free to call it a day, cut over to nearby US-27, and head home.
Important notes:
-

- We are using the BMW CCA electronic waiver system to expedite registration in the morning. All participants MUST sign the e-waiver form and get a wrist band at the rendezvous point BEFORE starting the tour!! Save time and sign the electronic waiver ahead of time!

- Driving Directions:
Please refer to links below for turn by turn directions for each route segment. These are much easier to follow with a navigator. Google Maps links require some degree of interaction during the drive. Rallista is a newer app that is designed for driving events and requires no intervention. Both contain the same routes, so the choice is yours. - Biggby Coffee/Taylor Mill, KY to Falmouth, KY:
