    Default Brown County, Indiana -- last weekend in April

    Ever been to Brown County? No? You WILL want to check it out! Been there and want to return to ride sweet flowy professionally-built awesome trails? Keep reading...

    A few of us are going to enjoy the flowy awesomeness that Brown County (Indiana) has to offer the last weekend in April (April 26th & 27th). Our plan is to leave after work on Friday (April 25th) to get the drive out of the way so we have all day to ride on Saturday (and Sunday til about Noon before packing up and hitting the road for home).

    So far, 6 of us are going, maybe a seventh person. The group camp sites at the trail head are all taken, so we're going to grab a couple individual sites. Others who opt to go would need to reserve a site for themselves. 866 622-6746. $15 a night plus tax, two night minimum, up to 6 people and two tents. Also pondering maybe snagging one of their cabins. Never the less, we will figure out the lodging, but I do know that we are riding!

    We are taking two vehicles so that we have a shuttle. It's much more fun to ride the trail from the top and then shuttle back up. Yes, this is your middle-aged 40-something talking. I'm opting for the shuttle so I can bomb back down the trail system again! No one will complain either way on your choice to get to the top of the hill, 'cept the shuttle driver gets compensation in the form of a craft beer.

    Also posting on Facebook. Let us know if'n you're in!

    Looking at the extended weather forecast, looks like the last weekend in April may be soggy. We are going to wait and see how things pan out and make a decision closer to the date. We are considering the first weekend in May as an alternative. Stay tuned...

    Well, we have given in. We are going to table Brown County for now since it's likely going to be rainy there on Sunday. Stay tuned for a new post when Mother Nature stops leaking.
