Good MTB trails in/near Nashville, TN ??

[BLOOMIS914]

I am going to be in Nashville, TN for a week.

I have read about about Montgomery Bell State Park (sounds pretty good)....but would like to know if anyone has any experience or advice on good trails within an hour or so of Nashville. For that matter, any good trails off of I-75 traveling South through Ohio and Kentucky?

All suggestions/advice appreciated.

Thanks!!

The Sheltowee Trace trail parallels I75 for quite a ways through Kentucky.
I have biked some of it near Corbin, north of Cumberland Falls, as well as another nearby trail. It was a beautifull ride.
I have also ridden motorcyles on quite a few sections up closer to London.
(not all sections are motorized and/or open to bikes.)

Mammoth Cave National Park in Southern Kentucky is the only National Park to allow mountain biking on it's trails. I'm a National Park fan, and have been meaning to make it down there to ride for a few years now. I've been there to see the caves and spent some time driving around the park, and I can say that there is some VERY hilly terrain.
