Lisa and I (Matt) decided to check out the Brown County Break Down after riding there multiple times and reading about the event. So on a whim we signed up and checked it out.
Here's a quick pictorial of the event. There aren't many photos because the trails are too fun to slow down and snap pics...
Everyone waiting to get started - about 500 riders

Near the homebase setup headquarters
Riders were staged based on distance (100/75/60/40/20 miles) and within the mileage by speed - fast, average, leisurely.
About to enter the first trail. On Saturday this parking lot was full of product demos from Scott, Trek, Cannondale and Giant.
Hesitation Point - at the top of the 2 mile climb then doesn't womp you on the way up. Very fun on the way down and where they hold their Super D races earlier in the year.
A small sampling of their trail armoring work. With 95% of Brown County's trail being dirt they take great care to ensure the singletrack doesn't erode or become a bog.
At the 40 mile end point - featuring live bluegrass music and food.
