On the water and on the bicycle: each tested, each printed it returns

Tested November 2026 · this ground, and the downtown South Bend criterium (boundary pointer)

On the water — the banked negative stands, pointed to: the Sports leg's tested negative (5) already prints it: Juday Creek and McCoy's Creek carry no boating, regatta or organized fishing record.

On the bicycle — tested, and the size it returns is a negative with a pointer: the searches run were USA Cycling and collegiate-cycling race records for Michiana, the Notre Dame cycling club's race record, and web and Tribune-index searches for bicycle racing tied to Granger and to the Clay/Harris ground. What they return is a South Bend race, not a Granger one: the Midwestern Collegiate Cycling Conference championship criterium run on a four-corner, 1.1-kilometre course in downtown South Bend in 2013, where Notre Dame's Joe Magro led the Sunday criterium and the Irish took a third straight Division II conference team title — a university club's race, on South Bend streets, at boundary size. For Granger itself the return is empty at every point: no bicycle race, criterium, time trial or velodrome on this ground in any record reached; no Granger-resident bicycle racer of documented standing; the paths and trails the banked Parks and Sports material carries are recreation, and recreation is not racing. Verdict: bicycle racing, for this ground, is a tested negative; the nearest racing on two wheels is pointed to, above, and belongs to South Bend and the university.
