About St. Thomas Cycling:
A paved "rail trail" takes you 15k from the Railway Museum to Port Stanley Beach.
From there you can stay and enjoy the beach, cycling back later, or head out along the lakeshore

Non-cycling Things to do:
St. Thomas is known as the "Railway City." With a population of under 45,000, it is home to the Elgin Railway Museum, "Jumbo the Elephant", downtown walking tour of murals and several breweries and shopping malls. The main appeal is the proximity to the beach in Port Stanley.

Please reach out to me if you wish to attend. I am looking for some help route planning for different cycling levels, if anyone knows the roads.
