I did try that, if I remember correctly, it had me on either Rt. 2 or US20 for a while and I was trying to stay off the heavier traveled roadways. I was hoping to put together some sort of combination of the routes they have through LaPorte County because I can get to there, and then look at the Eastern portion.

Have you tried the bike options on Google Maps? Google does a surprisingly good job of routing you on bicycle friendly roads. I had Google find bike directions from Chesterton to US 20 & Pine Road. The routs Google found look quite good.

Are there any routes from Porter County (Chesterton) to the West side of South Bend? Ideally it would be toward the Airport or toward 20/Pine Road. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Susan. Have you heard back from Judy on the maps? If not, and if it’s not too late, contact me at PTaylor574@comcast.net, and I’ll get 30 maps to you.

Judy: In re reading your post I realize you think I am in the area, but in reality I live at the other end of the state by the Ohio River. So the maps would have to be mailed or I could arrange to pick them up when we come up there at the end of the month. Sue

Judy: Are these maps the same as the Bike Michiana Coalition map only updated from 2009? If they are would it be possible to get 30 copies for the attendees at the midwest tandem rally post tour to be held in Sept 2010? Thanks to the help from others on the post I think we tentatively have figured out our circular route from Bendix park to South Bend via Chocholate factory and museums. Now to get to Notre Dame if desired.

We do have money budgeted to pay for the maps if there is a charge. Sue Marcotte

We have our new bike maps available. A nice small jersey pocket size. We have a supply at the ecofest this weekend in downtown, South bend. Check out the Bike Michiana display.

Paul and Jim: We went to LaPorte this weekend and checked out your routes in South Bend to La Porte. Both routes look great, in fact we are planning on using both so that people get different perspectives each way. We decided to remote start the ride at Bendix Park since we could connect the two routes on County Line RD and Timothy. I am sure there will be some who want the “whole ride experience” so we will provide the longer versions from LaPorte as well.

Thank you very much. Sue and Jim

Jim and Paul
Thanks for the cue sheets on the pine lake to SB maps and the spur to the chocolate factory. We will be up there to check the routes out in a couple of weeks.
