Attica, IN (THE BADLANDS)....until yesterday I had only heard about it. I heard sotries of hills that legends are made of and 700-1200 acres of awesome riding. Well here is my experience.
I am all alone with no one to ride with so I think I'll go to the Badlands. Surely there will be people to ride with there. Uneventfull trip there and the first thing they ask when registering is do you ride a bike, 4 wheeler or a JEEP. Did she say JEEP. By golly, she sure as crap did, Clue #1. I'm ready to go including my helmet camera. With 1200 acres to explore the helmet camera should pick up some awesome footage. Here I go!!!!! Sand, Sand, Sand, Sand, Sand whoops (ye haw) Sand, Jeep, Jeep, Sand, Sand, pea gravel, pea gravel, Sand. Look there be's some hills. Must be pretty bad with all of those 4 wheelers just setting there looking at them. Well that was fun but not too challenging. I wish those 4 wheelers would come up here so I would have some one to play with. Sand, Sand, Sand, there's a couple of bikes, COOL. Head to the woods...TOO SLOW MUST PASS OR I'M JUST GOING TO TIP OVER. By myself again, woods means mud,mud,mud,mud. There is a nice little log, OOPS I FORGOT MY TIRES ARE CAKED WITH MUD. That really ticks me off now my leg is killing me and I've got to go over that log again because I can't let it get the best of me. I got it that time. MUD,mud,mud,sand,sand,sand,pea gravel, I know I'm going down hill but if I let off the gas I might stop anyway. Very deep pea gravel. My bike is starting to look like a cup cake. A nice chocolate center with sprinkles of sand and pea gravel. Climb several sandy, rocky hills, not too difficult. Back into the woods. MUD, mud, mud, I'M STUCK. Can't believe I got out of that. I'm stuck again. I can't believe I got out of that. Back to the sand and climbing hills. Climb, climb, climb, made it....DROP OFF. WHEW I'm still in one peice. Better catch my breath. Climb, climb, climb made to the top....good thing I slowed down at the top...DROP OFF. Now that hill is intimidating but very climbable. I have no idea what is on the other side and I'm all alone I think I'll pass. Maybe that is the hill everyone is talking about, but I haven't seen anything else that looks to legendary.
Well you get the idea. THERE WAS ACTUALLY JEEPS ON THEM THERE TRAILS!!! Not exactly single track trails. Not the best place to go for a single tracker like me, but I did have a good time. Then again, I usually do when I'm on a dirt bike.
