I would suggest going to Defiance and riding west. If your class needs to rent bikes you can do that at the Bike shop in Defiance. He will give you a group deal. His rates are very reasonable and it would be better than trying to haul a whole class's bikes. Also he would outfit you with the type of bike that would work right on the trail. Just click on the town of Defiance on this site and you can get all the info you need. The trail is very flat so you shouldn't have any problem riding it, just a lot of pedaling. Hope this info helps. You will have a good time on the trail.
