Kansas City Neue Klasse und Kaffee Inaugural Cruise
Event created by d.hitchcock
We’re taking the backroads from Liberty, Missouri, to Excelsior Springs and beyond! It will be a blast, with some challenging twists and turns, and some gorgeous views of Missouri’s rolling hillsides.
This event is especially for Neue Klasse BMWs and BMW 2002s, but is open to all vintage sports cars. Pre-1980 is probably a good, rough guideline. Cars built post-1980 are welcome to cruise at the back of the vintage pack.
This cruise will be a relaxed drive with some spirited cornering, but no high speed monkey business. We want everyone to enjoy their vintage cars to the fullest, safely, and without undue duress. Safe following distances and reasonable speeds are expected.
Drivers should meet at 9:30 a.m. at the Roasterie, 2663 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108. We will depart the Roasterie at 10:15 a.m.
We’ll take I-35 North to Liberty, exit at the South Liberty Parkway. We can reconvene our parade on South Liberty Parkway, if need be. If we remain all together, then we’ll keep rolling.
The parkway takes us to Highway 291 North into Liberty. We jog east briefly on Mill Street, then follow Highway H out of town and all the way to Excelsior Springs. Enjoy the scenery and have fun, but don’t let any of the hard turns surprise you.
At Excelsior Springs, Highway H becomes St. Louis Ave. At Kearney Road, we’ll navigate our way to the Other Trails Coffee & Goods (115 E. Broadway) for a short break, coffee, and snacks.
From there, we continue east on Kearney Road, also known as Highway 10, until we reach Wood Heights. We turn south on Route O, another fantastic rural highway, to 210 Highway West. That takes us right back to North Kansas City and I-35 South back toward downtown KC.
Please join us! The more the merrier.
