Description: Winnipeg is crisscrossed by old creek beds, many of which are only visible as shallow dips in streets and parks. We will be following the route and tributaries of Inkster’s Creek from the confluence of the Red, west and south as it winds through Seven Oaks..
This will be a relatively slow bicycle ride, looking for and following markers of the old creek. There will be some stops along the way for a bit of history and to see points of interest. The ride will be on residential streets, some back lanes, and some gravel paths.
