About this event
oin us for an all-new adventure through some of the best driving roads Kern County has to offer. The Tehachapi Loop de Loop Tour combines sweeping mountain vistas, technical canyon roads, and wide-open stretches that seem purpose-built for a Porsche.
We'll meet in Rosamond for a brief driver's meeting before heading north through Willow Springs and climbing into the Tehachapi Mountains. After a comfort stop in Tehachapi, we'll leave the beaten path behind as we wind through the ranchlands of Caliente and Walker Basin. This route features a little bit of everything, from flowing sweepers to tight technical corners, with over 10,000 feet of elevation change throughout the day.
To keep everyone comfortable, we'll make scheduled stops along the route to stretch our legs before completing the second half of the loop and returning to Tehachapi for lunch. We'll make scheduled comfort stops along the route to keep everyone refreshed before completing the second half of the drive
Lunch at P-Dubs Brew Pub
Our finish line for the day is P-Dubs Brew Pub in Old Town Tehachapi, a lively, family-friendly local favorite with big flavor and big portions. P-Dubs offers a full-service bar, indoor and outdoor dining, and a fun atmosphere complete with a jukebox, shuffleboard, and pool for those who want a little extra entertainment after lunch.
The menu features an extensive range of classic pub fare and creative options, from burgers and sandwiches to tacos, fish & chips, wings, and unique items like cheesy tots and nachos, plus plenty of beers on tap and cocktails if you're in the mood for something cold after the drive.
Whether you're craving a hearty lunch or want to linger over drinks and games with fellow members, P-Dubs has something for everyone.

Group Drive Safety Guidelines:
- Safety is our first priority! Turn on your headlights and remember our group drives are not track events.
- Drive aware. Road hazards such as road debris/rocks can be kicked up by other cars and trucks unexpectedly. Remember that your PCA friend’s car, that they love as well, is behind you. Bicycling groups, wildlife, and slow moving utility vehicles are commonly encountered on weekends and in rural areas where we’re headed.
- Please ensure you and your vehicles are tour-ready prior to departure: sufficient fuel, oil and coolant levels are topped up, healthy and properly inflated tires, bio break etc.
- Once we are established on the drive, stay in your position relative to the other vehicles in the group. Maintain a safe nose-to-tail following distance from the vehicle ahead of you. No distracted driving, please.
- Stay aware of the lead vehicle. The route may have to be changed due to traffic or road conditions/closures. Stay flexible!
- If you experience a mechanical issue/failure and must pull over, the sweeper will advise the group and peel off with stranded member(s) for assistance and advise the group of status. No member will be left stranded.
- Often we experience little/no cellular phone coverage along our twisty road adventures. Our group utilizes handheld UHF two-way radios for communication and safety. If you have a radio, pay attention and listen for any updates that may be broadcast. If you have your own UHF radio, please tune to channel 5-5; if we need to change channels due to interference, a new channel number will be broadcast to everyone in our group. VIsit this member discussion to learn more about UHF Radios.
- As always, club veterans are at your services for any questions or concerns you may have.
