Click on the link under Ride Registration in the righthand column of this page. Alternatively, you can fill out the registration form in the ride brochure or download the form using the link in the righthand column. (Ride brochures will be mailed in March.) - Last summer 5.7 miles of new trail were opened for public use between Middlebury and Shipshewana. You will have to bicycle 0.7 mile on county roads from Shipshewana Flea Market to reach the trail. At Middlebury the trail does not extend to the SAG so you will need to turn around and return to Shipshewana for a total distance of 13 miles. You can bicycle on the trail by registering for the 13-Mile Family Trail Ride or you can register and ride on other routes plus the trail.
- In Shipshewana this year you will have an opportunity to see two quilt gardens. The garden at the Farmstead Inn will feature a Double Nine Patch pattern in 2012. The garden nearby at Menno-Hof will present the Peace & Plenty pattern.
You may choose from our eleven recommended rides described in About the Ride.
The 10.2-Mile Family Trail Ride will start and end at Abshire Park in Goshen. The 13-Mile Family Trail Ride will start and end at the Shipshewana Flea Market.
If you bike 100 miles you will use all of routes described on About the Ride except the 13-Mile Family Trail Ride. You can start in Goshen or Shipshewana.
The rides starting at Abshire Park in Goshen use 5.1 miles of trail and then continue on county roads. Otherwise, the ride routes are on flat to rolling county roads except the route to Bonneyville which is hilly but scenic. 
The routes are also interesting to bicyclists who want to experience horses and buggies on the roads, farm animals in fields, flower gardens, country schools and small towns.
If you want to bicycle in our area on Sunday June 17 we will provide you with maps of rides starting in Goshen and Shipshewana. Pick them up at Abshire Park or the Shipshewana Flea Market.
Ride proceeds benefit development of the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail.
We are proud of the quality of our sags. They provide snacks, refreshments and toilets at roughly 15 to 20-mile intervals.
