I heard through the grapevine yesterday that Brown County was mentioned in the latest issue of Bike Magazine. Supposedly, it made their list of the 33 top trails in North America. Needless to say, this is an amazing accomplishment. The HMBA only began building mountain bike trails in Brown County about five years ago. At that time, Indiana had received the WORST grade of all of the fifty states on IMBA's annual report card. Since then, Indiana's mountain bike advocates have proven that you can make lemonade out of lemons when you roll up your sleeves and get to work. Recognition such as this makes it all worthwile. The amazing thing is that Brown County isn't even close to being finished. The trail mileage will most likely double, if not triple, in the future. I'll post more details on BCSP's ranking in Bike as I get them. In the meantime, start planning your trip(s) to come ride the trails this upcoming season.
