One of the longer and more established mountain bike trails in the area, East Fork State Park has what you are looking for. Smooth lines, tight twisty single track, a few surprising climbs, and even a couple rock gardens. East Fork definitely deserves to be on your short list of trails to ride.
The trail is split into three sections, the South, Middle, and North trails, with the North also being called the "Tec Trail." The North section has a bit more climbing, and a few other more technical features, but nothing over the level of a novice cyclist. Always remember when riding, if you do not think you can ride a section, walk it. No shame in that.
Total miles for all three trails ends up around 7.5 miles. Ride the whole system as an out and back style ride and you end up around 15 miles. Not bad at all. Word on the street is, there will be more trails added this year. Definitely something to look forward to on an already great trail system.
Not too far outside of Cincinnati, around 20-25 minutes from the Interstate 275. The trail head is off of State Route 125. Coming from Cincinnati, turn left off of SR 125, following the signs for East Fork State Park. Parking is across the street from the park office.
