Double Drop with a Comley-Fagg Option - Madison Indiana Mountain Bike Trails

This ride starts and ends in downtown Madison. There's more pavement on this one, but the payoff is three wonderful downhills: fast, long freefalls off the side of the earth with sweeping turns and plenty of runout room at the bottom. Other attractions include pastoral scenery, a 150-year-old stone home where Comley Hill and Vernon Ridge Roads meet at the bridge, and a tranquil farmstead with a log home as its centerpiece about halfway up Manville Hill Road on the left. The climbs are mostly gradual and mostly paved, so this ride isn't particularly difficult. The challenge is to ride within your limits on the downhills. Speed of 40 to 50 miles per hour are possible, so make sure you and your equipment are ready.
