2013 BROWN COUNTY BREAKDOWN

The 9th Annual Brown County Breakdown is fast approaching – and you do NOT want to miss this event!

We are once again using a brand new route that has never before been open to mountain bikers! Not many events can boast that once – let alone two years in a row! The Breakdown has added a new segment of trail nearly every year since its 2005 inception.

This year we’ve added even more live bluegrass music, one of the largest bike and product demos east of the Mississippi, food trucks, the NITRO Kids Zone and much, much more. Ride as little or as much as you like – with routes taking you up to 100 miles in one day. This isn’t a race. It’s a great ride in the woods with a few hundred of your closest friends. The Breakdown begins and ends at Brown County State Park in Nashville, Indiana.

Take a look at the latest newsletter from Sub-9 Productions – including how you can win a brand new Scott Scale 29er mountain bike with SRAM XX1 group valued at more than $6,000!

Now that you know a little more about the Breakdown – we hope to see many of you there!
