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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

I am familiar with this area, and have drawn a spur from Jim’s route to the Chocolate Factory. See http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/LaPort-IN-to-South-Bend-IN-Chocolate-Factory-spur

Ford Street parallels Sample for much of the length and is a designated bike route. I’ve updated the Bikely routes with notes that I believe may help to create those cue sheets.

The chocolate factory was one of the places we would like to go, is Sample street not a safe street to ride?

Also, is there a way to get “cue sheets” for the routes you put on the site. I really am not familiar with using Bikely.com.

Thank you for your suggestions and help. We are planning on being up there in a few weeks to check out suggested routes.
