Author Last Post

It's More than a Farmer's Market! You may even find that unique gift for Father's Day!

The European Market does sell fruits and vegetables that are straight from the farm, but the European Market offers much more than produce. What keeps people coming to the market every year is the reputation and unique ambiance that the market has established. The market features vendors that sell prepared foods, handcrafted jewelry, clothing, art, and more. Come browse the European Market and see what all the hype is about!


42 miler RT: Departing from Erie-Lakawanna and Oak Savannah Trail Head parking lot in Griffith IN 9AM 9AM

The easiest wayfinding is to enter Aeromet Industries, Griffith, IN as your destination in your GPS device. (The trailhead is across the street from Aeromet).

About 1 hr 15 min drive (47 miles) from Evanston.

Pace: 13-14-15 rolling

This is active rail road country so all times in this posting are predicated on no train encountersI! Trains can take 15-20 minutes to pass by.

I expect to arrive at the market around 11;15-11:30.. We'll peruse the market, have a bite to eat from a vendor, and depart around 1:30 PM, for the return trip to the trailhead parking lot. Probably arrive back at trail head lot around 3:30 pm;. Yes this will be a long day, but we will have ridden on two or three new trails: The Erie-Lakawanna, the Oak Savannah, and the Prairie Duneland trails. All paved, well maintained, scenic and mostly flat! Please remember to carry extra water, sunscreen, bug spray, and panniers for carrying any items you purchase.


Ride requirements:

All riders must be vaccinated and (boosted)

Please bring a mask to wear when we aggregate.
