Mountain Biking is a fun sport and if you are not having fun, then you are doing something wrong. One of the best trails to enjoy adventurous mountain biking in Ohio and specifically in Delaware is Alum Creek State Park Trail Phase 1.
It is a rolling 6 mi/9.6 km singletrack trail that offers bridges, short climbs with small obstacles, roots and creek crossings.
