New BCSP Video Found on YouTube

Here is a nice video I found on YouTube that some guys recently shot at Brown County. There is an absolutely spectacular wreck at 1:20! It's on the Hesitation Point log bridge crossing.

Gateway Cyclist Riders Come From St. Louis

Last weekend we had large groups from Chicago and St. Louis in the BrownCo. Here are the St. Lou photos. As word spreads, it's not rare to see lots of out-of-state plates in the parking lot. Although the weather was questionable, and it had rained a few days previously, the riders from out of town were amazed to find great trail conditions. We locals know that the trails are very resilient to bad weather. It's a testament to how well thought-out and built the entire trail system is.

New Section Open on North Tower Loop

There is a large section of new trail on the North Tower Loop. It's the light green trail on this satellite photo. It replaces the old fire-road downhill that used to run from the North Tower Loop Connector intersection down "the short way" out towards Aynes Loop. This old portion of trail was wide and fast, but it doesn't hold a candle (climbing or descending) to this newly-built trail. Almost all of this trail was lovingly built by machine by Alex Harrington and Alex Stewart of Spectrum Trail Design. It has tremendous flow to it, and it will be a terrific addition to the trail system. A good portion of the trail has been on the ground since last winter. I rode it back then, and I couldn't wait until they could finish it. Now you can ride it too! Kudos to the "Super Alex" for another piece of amazing trail.

New Video Posted of Walnut Intermediate Trail

Here's a new video that I just got done editing. It's highlights of Charles riding Walnut Trail from Hesitation Point to the Hoosier's Nest cabin (it's the light blue trail on this satellite photo). It was shot on 9/9/08. The lighting was a little too bright, but overall the quality is decent. There is a great shot of him crossing the huge rock bridge at 3:12. He makes it look way too darn easy. And, as always, if you don't like the music, turn if down. If you like it, crank it.
