11:00 Shipshewana Trail Head

Trip Report

​

On August 29, four hardy members made their way to Shipshewana, IN to do about 18 miles on the Pumpkinvine trail. The weather was primo for the shaded bike trail. We pedaled our way to Das Dutchman Essenhaus restaurant in Middlebury, IN, where we barely had enough room to put our bikes as it is a popular biking destination. We pedaled through the Amish countryside observing many Amish buggies and farms along the route. On our way back from Das Dutchman Essenhaus, we stopped by Krider’s “World’s Fair” Garden to let our full stomachs settle in before we headed back to Shipshewana to pack up and depart.
