What is Road Adventures?
Road Adventures began as an informal group of BMW owners who loved spending the day driving the roads of Northern California. Over time, the group’s organizer, Mr. Cook, started adding more structured road tours to explore new routes. This led to the creation of Road Adventures, and since 2012, the group has been leading both single-day drives and multi-day tours across the Western United States.
What made Road Adventures popular was its open-door approach, anyone with any kind of car was welcome. This inclusive idea came from Mr. Cook’s earlier work co-founding the car club EuroSunday. Since 2002, he has organized or managed a wide range of automotive events, from casual morning drives to 14-day road tours through the Southwest, as well as charity events supporting Toys for Tots and Shriners Hospital.
In 2014, Road Adventures expanded to include off-road trips focused on exploring ghost towns and old mines. While many of these runs centered around the Ford Raptor, any capable off-road vehicle was welcome. This new side of the group became known as ROC, the Raptor Offroad Community. These off-road adventures offered a sense of exploration, plenty of dirt, and the chance to build lasting friendships while discovering incredible locations.
Moving into 2025, Road Adventures will focus on sharing drives and adventures enjoyed as a family, along with the routes created over years of organizing events. As life evolves, organized road and off-road adventures will return to continue bringing the community together for fun and exploration.
