NKY Fall Driving Tour

We are excited to announce the fourth event of the 2024 driving tour season!  The NKY Fall-ish Driving Tour is on Sunday, August 18 with all-new routes.  We we will travel the rustic back roads of Kentucky from Walton to Frankfort for lunch, and return to the Florence area to finish the day.

Please refer to tour information and registration links below.

Preregistration is required via Track Rabbit at this link.  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.  The waiver requires a digital signature and photograph, thus a mobile device is best for this step.

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 Starbucks Coffee in Walton, KY, located off I-75 at Exit 171.  We will meet at 8:30 AM, get situated, fueled up, confirm electronic waiver signatures, and drivers can begin the route around 9:00 AM.  For those needing fuel, a Shell station is located directly next door to Starbucks.

The morning segment is 90-miles south to the state capital of Frankfort, KY where we will stop for lunch at The Brown Barrel.  Parking is located at the side and rear of the restaurant.

The afternoon segment is 78-miles north to Florence, KY for a final gathering at Barleycorn’s.  Parking is located at the side and rear of the building.

Important notes:

• Again, please preregister via Track Rabbit by clicking on the link to confirm you are participating.  We need to get an idea of numbers, organize driving groups, and to provide the restaurant a heads up in advance.
• 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!  Just click the link on your phone!
• For those that cannot make the start of the drive, feel free to meet up with us anywhere along the route.  Drivers are also welcome peel off after lunch.  Please email me directly if making alternate plans.
• With the exception of severe weather, the tour will take place rain or shine.

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.
