Seersucker Social 2012- A Gorgeous Time!

The weather couldn't have been more perfect, the company more amiable or the home brew beer more delicious!  48 people gathered at Cobb's Hill Park decked in their most dazzling 1920's summer garb and embarked on a 9 mile ride through the shady side-streets of our fair city, Rochester, NY.

Temperatures reached close to 90degrees and when the ride was over we were rewarded with deliciously cool drinks and yummy treats.  Thanks to all of our sponsors and photographers!  We'll see you next year, gang.

The ride gets a little culture at the George Eastman House.

Fashion forward.

Dainty Ladies. (Our best dressed lass winner, Hillary on the right!)

Thank You, Everyone!

Thanks to everyone who came out on Sunday. We had about 45 people riding and about 15 more who met us at the Roundhouse. Nearly 20 more than last year! It was quite a sunny day, if a little brisk!

I stole the pictures on this page from Kellie McCaffery (above), Kara Tierney, and Sarah Vigoren. Thanks, guys!
