Josh - thanks for sending that photo of the Greenway trailhead. Clearly,
it's under the North D Street bridge that connects East Richmond with the
Northwest side (AKA "the 20th Century bridge) along the "canyons" of the
Whitewater River. Brings back a lot of memories. Makes me even more
Thanks Rick.
I just happened to see this today from Bike Indy. I guess they are feeling
the CG love too.
>From bike Indy:
Have you ever wanted to explore one of Indiana's longest trails? The
Cardinal Greenway extends from Muncie to Richmond. The Cardinal Trail
Century Ride is Saturday July
Thanks for the report, Josh. I was on the Cardinal Greenway two years ago
on a trip from Chicago to DC with my MIT Homer. I enjoyed Richmond’s
lively downtown, including a great independent bakery. Lots of off road
trails on that trip made for really nice time.

That sounds awesome, I’ll add that to my list. I appreciate it Josh! I was just planning to bike around in the city but having some dedicated bike trails to cruise on will be great.On Jul 19, 2023, at 8:43 PM, Josh C wrote:Al, I do think you could get to the Gaston section of the trial, from
Al,
I do think you could get to the Gaston section of the trial, from I-69, in
about 10-15 minutes. That's the way I got there for the first ride. Gaston
to Losantville is pretty nice. The Monon trail in Indianapolis is a nice
ride. More populated and less rural, obviously, but it's a nice

Brokebike,
I found it to be quite shaded. Gaston to Losantville was very shaded. Some
open areas near Losantville, but again down toward Richmond was quite
shaded. It makes for a nice ride in the heat.

That's a difficult request because I-69 runs pretty much North-to-South in
the area where it gets even a little bit close to the Cardinal Greenway
Trail. The closest access point that I can see would be at Gaston and
there are no exits off the interstate anywhere near there until you get to
I'm spending a long weekend in Indy and am planning to take my bike down (I
live in Grand Rapids, MI). I'll definitely check check this out as I'll be
going right through that area. Anyone recommend a good starting point near
I-69?

My buddy Huston and I rode the Cardinal Greenway back in the pre-Pandemic
days. We rode from Richmond to Losantville, and then took rural roads over
to Summit Lake State Park, where we camped for the night. It was a very
well manicured trail, but I don't recall there being much shade back then.
George, I went to school at BSU in the '70s as well. Wound up in Muncie
for nearly the entire decade. Had some good times riding the backroads in
that area. Some of it was on an old canti-framed Schwinn I paid $20 for and
built up as a "Little 500" racer; drop bars, coaster brake, and a
I grew up in Richmond and am well aware that the Cardinal Greenway Trail is
a rails-to-trails conversion of the old C Railroad that used to haul long
coal trains from the mines in SE Kentucky and West Virginia up to the steel
mills along the Southwestern Lake Michigan shore. I attended college
Steve,
Thus far I’ve only done the Gaston to Richmond section. It does have a 15
mile chunk of road toward the north end. It’s on my list. Thanks for the
tip as well.

My first attempt at this. The site is a bit old tech. It kept telling me
that my post was too long, so I broke it up. May have been the pic size.
Sorry for the typo's. I think I got the point across at least.
