Description

Time to take advantage of the South Shore Line and slingshot to Greenbush!

Will this be a religious experience? Nope. Burning greenbushes of a different kind? No comment. But if you seek an elevated state of beer and whiskey then this is your ride!

We'll catch the 8:40 am outbound train to Dune Park. Head over to Burn 'Em Brewing for a quick stop. Then it's on to Greenbush Brewery in Sawyer for lunch and beers. From there it's an easy 7 miles to Three Oaks for a stop at Journeyman Distillery. And finally it's 23 miles to South Bend to catch the last train home at 9:16pm CST.

Itinerary:

8:40am: South Shore to Dune Park

10am - 11:30am: Ride to Burn 'Em Brewing (16.5 miles)

12:30pm - 2:30p: Ride to Greenbush (20 miles)

4pm - 5pm: Ride to Journeyman (7 miles)

6pm - 9pm: Ride to South Bend (23.5 miles)

Link to route

Total ride distance is 67 miles

Minimum average speed is 12 mph. We have a train to catch and no one wants to spend the night in South Bend! If you can't ride that fast for the distance then don't show up. Or you can try to double back to Dune Park. Just don't be the person that makes the group spend the night in some crazy farmer's cornfield!

Bring:

-Water and Snacks (don't be a stupid Bundy)

-Lock

-Lights (we will be riding after dark on roads with no lights)

-Repair Kit for flats and other minor mishaps

-Common Sense

We will be riding on public roads with traffic so please consume responsibly.

Comment by Rich S on April 6, 2016 at 4:28pm: Cool, makes sense to adjust the route ... it's now updated.

Comment by LarryN on April 6, 2016 at 1:26pm: The problem with that trail is large sections of it are usually under water.

Comment by djm on April 6, 2016 at 10:54am: Nicer still is cutting over to the lake on Kemil / E State Boundary to Lake Front Dr / Beverly Dr to Michigan City. Last time I checked out Calumet Trail it was a rough overgrown doubletrack.

Comment by Rich S on April 6, 2016 at 10:52am: I have not Serge. Is it incomplete or damaged?

Jared, the train is actually 10:16pm local time in South Bend. 9:16 is central time.

Comment by Jared on April 6, 2016 at 10:24am: Sunset actually in South Bend for June 4 is actually 9:16 so no riding in the dark.

Comment by Jared on April 6, 2016 at 10:15am: Don't forget South Bend is in EST. Actually I think it would still be light for the entire ride back if I remember right.
