Pumpkinvine Bike Ride

Enjoy the 17-mile Pumpkinvine Nature Trail passing through farm fields, flower gardens and small towns. Ride on county roads past Amish farms and workshops. Pedal beside horses and buggies past sheep, cattle and newborn foals in summer pastures. Generous SAGs at Middlebury and Shipshewana serve drinks, fruit, energy foods and cold cut sandwiches. End your ride with the usual pie and ice cream. Children are welcome. Ride proceeds will support maintenance of the trail. Camping and showers will be available at the fairgrounds.

You can also bicycle to the Carriage House, an Amish home near Topeka, and enjoy a hearty Thresher’s Dinner on Friday evening, June 16.
