    As my screenname suggests, I'm from Indianapolis. I'm not an MTBer but there are some good trails in Carmel from what I understand and, of course, in Brown County. Plenty of decent road riding, too. There are some decent organized rides and the local club in Indianapolis is pretty active. Plenty of races, too.

    I don't know what the cycling scene in Russiaville is like, but one of the better bike shops in town, especially for MTB, is Nebo Ridge in Zionsville. Jonathan, the manager there is the president or vice president of the HMBA. He's also a good bike fitter and all around nice guy. He can give you some good information and suggestions.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Thanks a lo! A lot of good info. I plan on buying a road bike when I move so I'll have to check it out and meet Jonathon. Are you familiar with the HMBA?

    Not really. I don't mountain bike. I think they're a pretty active group. There are a handful of other bike shops in Indy with salespeople/owners who are avid MTBers. I'd be happy to give you more information once you move back to the area.
