It will be a moderately challenging fi ve day loop from Winnipeg to the northern tip of Hecla Island, covering 388 kilometres over four cycling days, with one day of rest. Each participant of what they’ve dubbed Team Tinker Creek is en- couraged to raise at least $1,000, and the group had been closing in on the $3,000 mark online as of last week.
