I just gotta say thanks for all these bike tours. I've never been to winnipeg, and it's looks fantastic. I'd really like to see what it's like first hand.

Great pics. I just love bike trips. Did you ever consider 2-3 days of biking ?
I am planning something like that and meanwhile got some good biking tips (http://www.discussfitness.com/forums/f46/bike-riding-tips-30509.html) for long biking.

So flat! When I visited for the first time last year, I found the flatness mesmerizing.

It is the reason why so many Prairie folk, like myself, have a very poor sense of direction... living on parts of the Prairies, there are no directional cues except the sun. I have a ridiculously poor sense of direction! :lol:

I'm going to move 1ajs's fine photos to where they deserve to be shown off...
the Urban Showcase for original photography! :cheers:
