Enjoy the Open Road
For something completely different, enjoy the sun and open road. cCc is one year old! The riding group has grown from 10 people to 135 in just 1 year! This is a celebration ride and party. It was a spectacular day and the ride could not be more perfect. It took us out through Rosedale, Harrison, Mission, Abbotsford, Arnold, Yarrow and back to Chilliwack. The BBQ and party went on until the wee hours of the night and it was a day and night to remember.
