Brown County Breakdown

The Brown County Breakdown is just over two months away, and I'm already incredibly excited to be riding in it. The event is more of a ride than a race. There are 20,40,60,75, and 100 mile options available. I've ridden the trails in Brown County State Park a number of times since my brother lives only about a half hour from the trails. We've camped out at other places in the county, namely Valley Branch Retreat. Between BCSP, Valley Branch, Gnaw Bone Camp, and the national forest, Brown County has probably over 100 miles of trail, if not 150 or more. One of the coolest parts about this ride is that it contains tons of singletrack. Typically, in an event like this, there would be extensive amounts of time spent on gravel roads, but even for the 100 miler more than 90 percent of it is on singletrack. How sweet is that?!?!?!?

October, southern Indiana, mountain bikes, singletrack...excellence!
