RIT group ride... plan was to start at Genesee Valley Park and ride along the canal towpath to Spencerport.  My buddy Bob suggested that he and I pick up a few extra miles by riding from the office to the meeting point in the park.  It was a good idea.

The ride was fairly uneventful...  Only eight of us all together.  I think the fact that I had advertised it as a 24 mile ride scared a few people away.  Good.  We had a little bit of a wind working against us on the outbound leg, but of course it worked in our favor on the way home.  By the time we hit the park I was actually getting kind of cool.

Only real excitement came on the last leg of the ride between Genesee Valley Park and RIT on the Lehigh Valley Trail.  At one point we spotted a young buck on the side of the trail, about 30-35 yards away, just staring at us.  We stopped, took a picture, moved a little closer, took another one... the whole time the buck just stared at us.  It wasn't until he realized that there was a woman with a dog coming from the other direction that he decided to take off.  Wish I could have gotten a little closer for a better picture.
