Wife and I live in west central Indiana. I had no idea that area is so pretty. Thanks again for another well shot, well edited, and informative video. 🙂
We were very pleasantly surprised with our time in South Bend. The white water rafting course in the town blew me away!! Thanks for your kind comments and for your support.
Love your videos, especially about the trails in southern part of our state. Super excited to see a video about my home town and place of employment! You did a good job presenting South Bend. I live about 2 miles from Notre Dame and bike most days to work on that trail, but I live north of ND and there is another part that runs all the way to Niles, Michigan. Adds about 9 more miles to the trail. That part downtown along the east race is a bit tricky, but once you know, you don't ever cross a road or go down that narrow part. Couple of points of interest, right past the red bridge (IUSB) was our farmer's market, established in 1924. Also downtown, where they show the river lights, is Seitz Park. It is just about to be open, it has been under construction for a months. The university added electric generators, powered by the river that provide about 7% of the campus power. Also, as I type this a new dedicated bike trail just opened that runs directly from campus to downtown. It connects to our first ever two laned protected bike trail that runs along LaSalle Avenue. I could go on and on. Lastly, the university is a bit smaller, with just over 8000 undergrads, another few thousand in the grad and law school.
Thanks for taking the time to provide so much great information! We ended up in South Bend by chance, as it wasn’t part of our plan when we set off. We are glad we did because we were so impressed with every where we went. We had hoped we would have had more time to ride the extra 9 miles you mention, but that wasn’t in the cards :( We have two more IN trails coming up: The Pumpkinvine and the Nickle Plate. Thanks for your support of our channel.
We didn’t know what to expect because these trails weren’t on our original agenda. We were so excited that we did!! There are so many nice parks and the river running through the city was nice. You could go beyond Notre Dame on another trail, but we didn’t get a chance to check that out. I hope you get a chance to ride these. Thanks for watching.
Interesting and sometimes challenging ride. I can tell if you didn't have an app available, it could get confusing. What source do you use for the background music? Have you guys tried out your new helmets yet? As usual nicely done.
Hi. Minimally you would need to look up the trails on the TrailLink app to get a feel for how they connect. The narrow river section made me think we were in the wrong place though!! We have tried our new helmets -- they are keepers. Thanks for your support.
Not a ride/trail question. Do you get your logo merch from a local shop or online company? My husband and I are looking to do something with a group name we’ve created.
Hi. I am using Printify for logo merch. No inventory to carry as each order is processed when paid for. I don't have to pay for the storefront either. I do order a sample before I put anything up in the store (which you would need to pay for) just to make sure the quality is there. But you can see in our videos that we wear the merch when we ride. Printify has been easy and stress free for us. Thanks for watching.
There was definitely a small section along the whitewater rafting area where it probably wasn’t good for biking for sure! I was going really, really slow in case we encountered someone coming the other way. One of us would have had to back up it was that narrow. Not wanting to try that again, you probably noticed we came back on the other side!! Thanks for watching.
Thank you, for this video! Nicely edited with great content, as usual. I also appreciate you including so many links.
Thank you for your kind comments, and thank you for your support of our channel.

Thank you!
So much fun getting to see trails and scenery in other areas!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your continued support.

I live close to there. I’ll have to check these out!

Tha path was so narrow, that if another cyclist was coming from the opposite side, you would have to stop and walk the bike.
