Secure your spot online ahead of time, then roll into the Secret location for check-in—or arrive ready to ride and complete your registration on-site before joining the action. Either way, your adventure starts the moment you commit.
Get ready to fire up your sense of adventure and chase the horizon at the BMW Club of Northern California’s 36th Range of Light Gypsy Tour—where every mile delivers adrenaline, awe, and the pure thrill of the ride.
Imagine it: engines rumbling at dawn, a line of riders stretching into the distance, and the open road calling your name. You don’t just ride this tour—you live it. Every curve, every climb, every stretch of unknown road is a pulse-raising reminder of why you ride in the first place.
This isn’t just a rally—it’s an experience. A shared journey fueled by freedom, friendship, and the irresistible pull of what lies beyond the next turn. By day, carve through breathtaking mountain passes and hidden backroads. By night, trade stories under the stars, laugh around the campfire, and connect with riders who get it—the ones who feel the same fire you do.
And the best part? You can fully immerse yourself in the adventure. Our support team has your back so you can ride hard and live easy—delicious meals, gear transport, and on-road support mean you stay focused on what matters most: the ride.
So ask yourself—are you ready for the kind of adventure that stays with you long after the engine cools?
Join us for the Range of Light Gypsy Tour and experience the ride that riders talk about all year long. This is more than a trip. It’s a story you’ll be telling for the rest of your life.

This year’s journey begins at Location to be revealed at the 49er Rally Closing Ceremony, with check-in opening at 3:00 PM on Friday, September 4th. From that moment on, it’s all throttle, connection, and discovery.
All street-legal motorcycles are welcome—no matter the brand—as long as they’re registered, insured, and ready to ride. Non-members are absolutely welcome to join the adventure, but must be sponsored by an active BMW NorCal club member. And if you ride a BMW, you’re eligible to become part of the BMW NorCal family with your registration.
This event is the heart and soul of what the club is all about: riding hard, camping out, and sharing the kind of experiences that remind you why you fell in love with the road.
