Calendars - MidState Miata Club of New York

This is a three day event, which we are limiting to ten cars. We will meet in Central Square and drive through the southern Adirondack Mountains to Burlington, VT on Day 1. On Day 2, we will do a joint ride with the Vermont Miata Club through great scenery in Vermont, on great Miata roads! On Day 3 we will take the ferry across Lake Champlain, then cross the northern Adirondack Mountains back to our finish point, in Pulaski.

Start and finish points are in villages on I-81 to make it easy for members from all Chapters to get to the start and home again. I've used Butler Motorcycle Maps to find some great Miata roads to travel! This event has a lot of driving time! From the start to Burlington is about 240 miles. The Day 2 ride is about 200, and Day 3 is around 260!

We have procured a significant group rate on a block of rooms at the Best Western Windjammer Hotel in South Burlington, but you will need to make your reservation by August 15.

Contact the Event Coordinator and your Area Rep by August 15 if you can join us.

Apple picking time is approaching, and every year we have a HUGE turnout. Hopefully we can make this year another good one.

As always, this event is less about the drive, more about Fall, apples, and which apple fritter is better. So, join us this year, see your friends and cast your vote. This is a rain or shine event.

Schedule: Meet 10:30 AM at the Byrne Dairy Gas Station in Lafayette NY (Rt. 20 & Rt. 81) (to the left of McDonalds), we will depart at 11 AM.

The total event will travel down route 20 for a total trip of 6 miles, stopping at 4 apple orchards.

No need to RSVP for the event, just show up if you want, and stay for as long as you like. However, if you do register with me and inform your rep, then if something happens which cancels the event, we can contact you.

Deer Run orchards has been voted the best fritter 5 years running. Will it continue, or will one of the other orchards take the title this year?

Come participate, your vote matters.

It’s time again for our annual Middlesex Roast Beef Dinner.This is something they have been doing for over 40 years, and for those of you who have been there before they have finally installed air conditioning. We will meet at Bill Grays 1225 Jefferson Rd. in Henrietta at 2:00pm and will be leaving at 2:30pm sharp (AISMR) to Middlesex for dinner.

The cost is $18.00 per person and I can guarantee that you will not leave hungry. For those who haven’t done it before this is a fresh cut roast beef dinner with all the trimmings including real mashed potatoes & gravy served family style at tables of eight. I would suggest that you get your pie dessert to go because we will be continuing on after dinner to Canandaigua for the required ice cream stop. For the members from Syracuse area who usually leave after dinner we will be doing the ride in reverse this year to give them the opportunity to see what they have been missing.

Contact the Event Coordinator and your Area Rep by September 21, if you can join us. If you have to cancel on the date of the event let us so we don’t hold up the ride waiting for you.

It’s time again for the annual ride with the Niagara Club to Sprague’s Maple Farm in Portville. If you haven’t been there before, take a look at their lunch menu on their website. The date is correct. It is on a Wednesday. If you will be joining us please let your Area Rep and myself know you will be attending. I will need confirmation and the number attending no later than October 3rd.

We will meet at the McDonald’s in Avon, 250 E Main St. for a pit stop and driver’s meeting at 8:30 AM and will depart at 9:00 AM A.I.S.M.R. (I will explain for any new members). This will be approximately a one hour ride to meet up with the Niagara Club for their ride to Sprague’s. Their drive will include a stop at the Cuba Cheese Shop in Cuba, NY. If you have never been there before this is one of those “if we don’t have it you didn’t need it” stores for cheeses. If you choose not to stop at the Cheese Factory just continue on route 305 South to Sprague’s where we will meet up to go to the restaurant.

The Niagara Club uses the FRS radios Channel 5 for communication on their rides so if you still have one stashed away in a drawer or box somewhere bring it along. After lunch there will be a ride to the Charcoal Corral as our final destination. I can guarantee you good food, good ice cream, and some great roads.

Contact the Event Coordinator and your Area Rep by October 3, if you can join us. If you have to cancel on the date of the event let us so we don’t hold up the ride waiting for you.

Do you have what it takes? On Sunday, October 11 we will be having the 23rd installment of the Bill Hodge Memorial Rally. Do you have what it takes to add your name to the previous list of 16 winners? Yes, I know the numbers don’t appear to add up. Why are there only 16 past winners? Because there have been 6 multiple year winners and one year with two winners.

We will be meeting at the Circle K convenience store on Bartell Road in Brewerton, which is right off the Route 81 exit #31 at 10:30 AM for an 11:00 start time.

Where are we going? What is the route to be taken? What’s the distance? How long will it take? These are interesting questions, and I’m sure there are legitimate answers to them. I’m simply not willing to share them with you at this time. You will make it before you run out of gas, and if need be there may be a potty stop in case someone needs it. That’s all I’m saying.

Contact the Event Coordinator and your Area Rep by before Friday, October 9, as Jay need to know how many rally packets to make up. Please reach out to Jay with any questions. If you have to cancel on the date of the event let us so we don’t hold up the ride waiting for you.

The event will be held at the American Legion,1 Wainwright Lane, Skaneateles, from noon to 3 PM. We can only accept the first 80 registrants.

• The Club will provide sandwich trays, water, and soda.

• Bring a dish to pass.

• Bring any table games for socializing in small groups.

• Bring a pie if you’re interested in entering the pie contest.

• A cash bar, tended by Legion members, will be available.

Register by October 10 with Frank Cantone, and your area rep. Include the number of attendees, and if you’ll be entering the pie contest.

We’re also looking for volunteers to assist with setup, cleanup, pie contest, and other duties as assigned

It's fall already, and once again we are off to view the colored leaves, exercise our Miatas one last time before winter, and have lunch and ice cream with friends! We will meet in the parking lot of the Canandaigua National Bank, 4 Main St, in Bloomfield, NY at 10:00 AM on Saturday, October 24. Lunch will be in Cohocton after a 70 mile morning ride. Then it's back to Bloomfield for ice cream to end our 110 mile ride. Let's see if we can get a line of 25 Miatas this year!

Contact the Event Coordinator and your Area Rep, if you can join us. If you have to cancel on the date of the event let us so we don’t hold up the ride waiting for you.

Due to the size of the club, it can be difficult to attend some events that are far away. The purpose of our Regional Events are so club members can enhance the miata club experience within their local area. The events are planned by the area reps as 'local events', however are not limited to members from that area.

Any interested club members can join in as well. Information may be posted in the newsletter or on the website and Area Reps may be kept updated with details as the events approach. We will be going through the normal Area Rep. contacts for counts, so please contact the reps if you'd like to participate and/or RSVP is requested.
