This will take place at 10:30 AM at the Fastrac gas station & McDonalds, 3364 Main St, Mexico, NY,13114. The group will then head north on Rt 3 to Cape Vincent, and the Tibbits Point LightHouse. After a brief visit we will continue on to lunch in Clayton, then tour the Antique Boat Museum. Then onward to Alexandria Bay where we will drive the old "Around the Houses" race course composed of village streets. These auto races were run from 1936 through 1940, predating the similar events later held at Watkins Glen. Supper, overnight accommodations, and breakfast on Thursday are left up to the individuals to arrange.

Join us for a scenic ride with lots of twists, turns, and beautiful scenery! Leaving Elmira we’ll travel on back roads along rivers, lakes, and impressive countryside ending at the incredible Pennsylvania Grand Canyon! From the canyon, we’ll stop at a local favorite for lunch. The trip back to NY will be a totally different route through Wellsboro, PA along Tioga-Hammond Lake providing even more incredible scenery!

We will leave from the Clarion Inn, 760 E Water St, Elmira, NY. The meeting time is 10:00 am and we’ll depart at 10:30. It is approximately 80 minutes or 60 miles each way. We will have 45 minutes at the Canyon lookout and 90 minutes for lunch.

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 and more about Fall, apples, and which apple fritter is better. So, join us this year, see your friends, and cast your vote. Last year’s winner was Deer Run Orchards, will it hold onto the trophy?

This is a rain-or-shine event.

Meet at 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 (Subject to change due to Crowds) along the way.

Tentative Meeting Place: Kwik Fill Gas Station, 797 W Genesee St, Skaneateles, NY Meeting

The annual Bill Hodge Memorial Road Rally will be held on Sunday, September 29th 2024. This year will mark the 21st running of the event which is in honor of founding club member Bill Hodge.

For those who may not be familiar with what this road rally is, it is a driving scavenger hunt. You are given directions to follow, and clues to answer along the way. The more questions you can answer, and photos you can identify, the better your chances of glory and bragging rights as the winner. You also get to engrave your name on the awesome one-of-a-kind trophy, and display it for a year for all to admire. Follow the instructions correctly, and your team will end up at the finish line, at the mystery restaurant where we will all gather, share some drinks, a meal and stories of your quest through the beautiful Central NY countryside.

This event is for ALL club members, not just those from the Syracuse area. We welcome everyone from the other chapters to join us. It has been a while (never?) since someone outside the Syracuse chapter has won.

Since we are currently working hard to finalize all details for the event, look for the September newsletter for more information

We will meet at the McDonalds in Avon, 250 E Main St. Arrive in time for a pit stop and a driver's meeting at 9:00am and we will depart at 9:15 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 the ride to Sprague’s Maple Farm and pit stop at the Burger King and gas station. The drive will include a stop at the Cuba Cheese Shoppe 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. The Niagara Miata 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 we will do a return trip with Colby’s Ice Cream & Bake Shop in Rush as our final destination.

If you choose not to stop at the Cheese Factory Store just continue on route 305 south to Sprague's where we will meet up to go into the restaurant together.

This ride incorporates parts of a couple of other old favorite rides, some new ground, fall foliage colors, and one last outing in your Miata! We will meet at Quicklee's Mobil station in Bloomfield (3 Main St, Bloomfield) at 12:30pm, for a 1:00pm departure, then repeat Darius' "Gluttony or Restraint" ride (July 24) as far as The Olde Country Store in North Cohocton for a stop. After that, it’s unblazed trails until we arrive in Middlesex, NY for the last roast beef dinner of the year at the Middlesex Hose Volunteer Fire Dept. After an early supper we will continue on to Cheshire Farms Creamery in Canandaigua for ice cream to conclude our 110 mile trip.

This is our Annual Holiday Party / Brunch

We will be having a beautiful Holiday buffet at the Springside Inn’s “The Point at Sand Beach" facility located at 2924 Sand Beach Rd, Auburn, N.Y. This location is not at their main Restaurant/ Bar/Inn. Registration begins at 11:30 am, 12:00 noon cocktails and holiday cheer, and 12:30 pm buffet breakfast. There will be a cash bar available. There is a maximum capacity of 80 guests so we will number registrations as they arrive and hold any received after the maximum is received following the cutoff date to be used in case anyone who has registered has to drop out.

Dear Miata Enthusiast, The Underground Miata Network cordially invites you to our Canada’s Capital Miata Meet (C2M2) taking place in Ottawa, Canada from the 14th to 17th of August 2025.

This event will cap off our 30th anniversary celebrations as a Miata Club in Canada’s Capital. Our first C2M2 (2015), saw over 300 guests from across North America.

Our second C2M2 (2020) was cancelled due to the pandemic.

We are hoping our third will be the charm and are actively planning for a great event in 2025.

Please:

• Save the dates—August 14 to 17, 2025—and tell your Miata friends to do the same.

• Visit our website (Underground Miata Network (a.k.a Ottawa Miata Club) – The Mazda MX-5 Miata Owners Club for Canada's National Capital Region) for updates and details from the first C2M2.

• Underground Miata Network Photos of the FIRST event can be seen here.

Please visit the C2M2-2025 web site to find out more about what we have in store for you. Register early as we are expecting a full house!

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.
