Where will the Pumpkinvine Bike Ride start?

Country Life Loop

If you plan to ride on the 15-mile Country-life Loop go to the Shipshewana soccer field pavilion for parking and registration. Ind. 5 is the principal highway in Shipshewana. At the stop sign turn east on County Road 250 N, also called E. Middlebury St., and drive about 1/2 mile to County Road W 735 N. Turn north on CR W 735 N and continue until you find the soccer field on the west side, less than 1/4 mile

Three major highways, US 33, Ind. 15 and Ind. 4 intersect on Main St. in Goshen. Look for the Elkhart County courthouse located at the corner of Main St. and Ind. 4 (Lincoln Ave.). Turn east onto Ind. 4, continue across the Norfolk and Southern Railroad tracks and find Abshire Park on the right about four blocks past the tracks.
