Since it had been so long (about 3 months) since my last encounter with the trail, I had to learn several lessons over again:
1. Always look two or three turns ahead – it makes the journey easier and provides far fewer surprises
2. If you happen to think about it, shut your mouth – it makes it harder for the yucky and toxic stuff to get in
3. Don’t look over your shoulder. Always looking behind you can be hazardous… you can’t worry about who’s about to catch you.
4. Have a good buddy with you- it makes the experience more fun and provides someone to help if you get in trouble.
Luckily, the time on the trail was not wasted, as I can apply these same lessons to many areas of my life:
1. Always look two or three turns ahead – it makes the journey easier and provides far fewer surprises
2. If you happen to think about it, shut your mouth – it makes it harder for the yucky and toxic stuff to get out
3. Don’t look over your shoulder. Always looking behind you can be hazardous… you can’t worry about who’s about to catch you.
4. Have a good buddy with you- it makes the experience more fun and provides someone to help if you get in trouble.

Steve is right. There are absolutely zero mountains in Indiana, but there is hope! I've taken several west-coasters to Brown County State Park to mountain bike and they've been duly impressed and exhausted. With 20-30 minute, 2-mile climbs and 35+ MPH downhills it's not what you'd expect in Indiana. It's also become one of the most popular trail systems in the Midwest. Get off the couch and go check it out!
