Hoosier National Forest, Indiana

Brown County, Nebo Ridge and Hickory Ridge Trails

Powered by my new full-suspension mountain bike, I was anxious to test it on some real trails.  Brown County and Hoosier National Forest are only a half-day drive and feature some very nice trails.

I started with the Brown County State Park Trails the highlight being Hesitation Point -- a nice piece of single track.  


Brown County State Park has a lot of single track

Next two days I rode in the Hoosier National Forest.  




Dispersed camping in Hoosier N.F.

I was awakened by gun shots. Unsure if the hunters knew I was nearby, I set off my car alarm. I'm guessing they didn't appreciate that.

I never did figure out what they were hunting as I checked to make sure it wasn't deer hunting season beforehand.

This trail is a climb!


Dork alert!  This biker is decorated entirely in safety yellow
(except for the orange Gatorade).
