Syracuse MINI run Aug 9, 9 AM

So I'll be back in CNY for a weekend so why not organize a re-run!
We'll be doing one of the runs that I've organized before (sorry Im in CNY for a weekend and its not enough to organize a new one)
The two Choices are, either the Skaneatles run (starts in Auburn goes down owasco lake, cuts over and to Skaneatles lake and it follows back up and we finish at Joes Pasta Garage) or the Marcellus run (Starts off in Marceulls, goes around Otisco lake, up through Skaneatles to Syracuse where we finish at either Dino or Emprie)

The Home thread for this run is on the WNY MINIs site so vote there, or let me know and I'll mark you off for a run

It is so cool that you're coming back to the States to do another one of your famous "Venno Runs", but I'll have to miss it.

I will be on vacation hundreds of miles away by then.

You have a great time, and as always, observe all local speed limits. Remember that we use miles per hour here, Venno, not kilometers like you're no doubt used to now.

Thanks Jon!
Yeah actually getting used to US speeds again may take a little bit, Czech highway speeds are 80 mph (130 km/h) but often times traffic is moving at 90mph (140 km/h) and 'county roads' have speed limits of 55mph, (90km/h) but people usually go in the 70s! Luckly villiages and towns have speeds of 30 mph (50 km/h) which is good but wow people drive REALLY crazy here!
One thing that Im wondering about is how I'll deal with driving a 'big car'- my US MINI
Have fun on your vacation btw!
