Riding and camping Northern California and beyond, since 1965!



Registration for the 2024 Range of Light Gypsy Tour is now open!

Starting at Butte County Fairgrounds in Gridley, CA

What is the BMW NorCal Range of Light Gypsy Tour, a rally like no other! Why? Because this is no stationary rally. This is a riding rally, a two day event conceived for riding fans, by riding fans. Riders will be treated to exceptional road and optional GS routes, showcasing some of the best riding and scenery in the West. And be sure to bring fresh tires as you can expect to ride around 300 miles each day. Our destination? You won't know until the day before. This is a closely guarded secret - all we can tell you is the start point. 

Riders can look forward to:

  • Two days of some of the best riding in the State, destinations unknown.
  • 3 nights grassy camping.
  • Hot showers and catered dinners Friday, Saturday and Sunday Nights.
  • Cold drinks - included with registration.
  • Poker Run with prizes!
  • Fun door prizes and sponsor swag.
  • Sag wagon to haul your gear (soft luggage only). 
  • Rescue wagon in case there's a problem.
  • Printed route booklet, shared Rever route files/downloadable .gpx files.
  • Rally Shirts, pins, and stickers. 
  • Great Camaraderie. 
  • BEST. TIME. EVER.

The Range of Light Gypsy Tour is part adventure, part test piece, part endurance event, part riding tour, part camp-out, and 100% fun. So register now and join those ready for the best rally in the West!  

And as with all BMW NorCal events, riders of all brands of motorcycles are welcome to ride in the ROL, as long as the bikes are street legal, in sound working order, registered and insured. Another great perc, BMW motorcycle owners are eligible for Club membership! This is a nod to the dedication of the ROL Gypsy Tour riders, and the riding and camping involved with this event is the foundation the BMW NorCal Club is built on.

Check out our GPS page for tips and instructions for accessing and loading GPS files each day.  Our GPS table tends to get clogged up each night so save yourself some time with a number of self service options!
