Pemberton Slow Food Cycle - August 15th
After a brief hiatus due to last year’s forest fire in Pemberton, the Slow Food Cycle is back!

A pedal-powered trip through the natural buffet that is Pemberton Meadows farmland, to meet local growers and sample produce fresh from the field, Slow Food Cycle is:
* Good for your carbon credits
* Flat and scenic and ride-able for all ages and levels of fitness
* A sensory smorgasboard
