He was spending his weekends going elsewhere to ride. “I just got fed up.” </p>
<p>Necessity is the mother of invention.</p>
<p>Today, HMBA is responsible for the 15 miles of singletrack that’ll make your bike sing, with another six miles in the works at Brown County State Park. And if you think the trails are as flat as downtown Indianapolis, you’ve got another thing coming. Specifically, over 400 feet in elevation gain. </p>
<p>“The entire trail has been built – every foot of it – for mountain bikers, by mountain bikers,” says Tania Hines, an HMBA volunteer. “It’s just smooth, flowing trail, nice long climbs, fun downhills, great views.” Smooth is right; the trails are built to International Mountain Biking Association standards. </p>
<p>The crown jewel of the system is the Hesitation Point Trail, complete with a two-mile downhill, accessible from the Hesitation Point vista. For something more moderate, try the North Gate Trail. All mountain biking trails are open to hikers, too. The park is home to separate horseback riding trails, lakes, a nature preserve and camping. There’s even an old covered bridge at the entrance (note: clearance is 9 feet if you’ve got your bikes on a roof rack). </p>
<p>Brown County State Park is home to HMBA’s annual <a href="http://www.browncountymountainbiking.com/breakdown/" target="_blank">Brown County Breakdown</a> (“Plumbing the depths of the yee-haw factor”), which includes a century (100-mile) ride that’s almost all off-road as well as shorter rides. This year’s breakdown is Oct. 12, so now’s the time to pump up those knobbies.</p>
<p><strong>Where it’s at:</strong> 1 hour south of Indianapolis; from I-65 near Columbus, IN, take IN 46 west 15 miles to the park entrance.</p>
