The trail around the South

The trail around the South Shore Cultural Center is very nice, I always enjoyed riding there, and over by Rainbow Beach.

Wow, great photos guys! Thanks for capturing the day. And those drafts tasted soooo much better @ $3 a pop! ;) Thanks to Drew & Ken for setting that up.
