I would highly recommend an organized ride. IMHO the trail itself is BORING. One mile is pretty much like the next, with the exception of a number of wonderful small towns. A narrated ride might be kind of interesting. Another idea to make the trip worth it is to spend time in some of the small towns. They are worth the extra time.

Disclaimer: I have only done the trail from Buffalo to Rochester but it is my understanding that things don't get much better after Rochester.
