As a very beginning mountain biker, I believe in hiking trails before I ride them. I really want to ride in the Brown County Breakdown this October, and there some trials in Brown County State Park I've not yet even seen...so since I am recovering from my whiplash injury this winter I made a goal of hiking all 25 miles of the mountain bike trails there this winter

What makes all of this even more fun is IMBA gave the trail system there epic status in 2011, and there are few systems in the world they've given that designation to. Frankly I may not be able to ride all of the short route in October, but I will ride all of it that I can
