MOUNTAIN BIKING continued from 17
recommended— twice a month from May to September. Bikes are provided.
Brown County Bikes offers bike rentals for $ 95 per day, and if you end up buying a bike, you can credit the rental fee toward the purchase. Nolan also offers private classes that cost $ 150 for two hours, $ 300 for a half day and $ 500 for a full day, though she said a two-hour class is a good starting point for beginners.
Major said Brown County also is in the enviable position to have a dedicated mountain biking community that volunteers often to add new trails and clean existing ones of fallen branches and other debris, and to repack the soil on trails if they have been washed out by weather and use.
Major said that while some people deride Indiana as a flyover state, you won’ t hear any state park enthusiasts say that.
“ We have people travel for hundreds of miles to come to our trails,” he said. •
