Help at http://visitsouthbend.com/ and http://www.wndu.com/featuredlinks

June 27, 2015 for a great cycling event that will allow you to enjoy a route that highlights some of South Bend’s influential titans of industry! The ride will take you on South Bend, IN streets to ten stops along the Studebaker Bendix Heritage Trail including:
• The original Studebaker blacksmith shop site
• Various churches and home sites of the Studebaker family
• The former Bendix Corporation headquarters
• The former Studebaker Clubhouse at Bendix Woods County Park
• Ride the three-mile former Studebaker Proving Grounds Track adjacent to Bendix Woods, courtesy of Navistar, Inc.
Several of the sites will be open for tours during the ride as well as afterward. The Studebaker Bendix Heritage Trail Bike Ride has two different routes; the Urban Ride, which is 11.4 miles long with nine stops, as well as the Full Ride, which is 38 miles long with ten stops.
The Studebaker Bendix Heritage Trail Bike Ride is a FREE event! Bike Michiana Coalition is asking for a $10 donation the day of the ride. All donations go towards purchasing helmets for Bicycle Safety Classes for local 3rd grade students. The amount of Bicycle Safety Classes offered depends on donations that allow Bike Michiana Coalition to purchase helmets for the classes.
