Born and raised in Ohio and have been traveling and mountain biking all over the country. There seems tobe some very misleading posts above so I want to give some earnest feedback should anyone ever be in the area. PENDING THE TRAIL . BE PREPARED TO CLIMB. prominent trail systems (alum creek & chesnut ridge) both of which with considerable elevation and neither of which would be suitable for beginner level riders. Chestnut ridge even has a full downhill section with doubles , rythems and tabletops. Outside of Columbus in just about any direction there are some serious, i.e. double black diamond trails. Ohio leads into the foothills of the Appalachian mountains and is also where the glasciers stopped. So yes there are some flat areas but also areas you can do bouldering and repelling. Stating Ohio is "pancake flat" is a bit misleading. Google search MTB trails. Throw a dart. Next to obvious places like Colorado Ohio has quite a bit of serious mountain biking and one of my favorite riding areas in the country.
