A few years ago I wanted to start doing more in my bike riding than just going to & from work & the store so was pleasantly suprised to find this dandy little book on the shelf where I work.This book covers over 30 routes in 6 counties, & has plenty of maps.
You want mountanous routes? you got it!
You want hilly, flat, or a combo? you got it!
There are city routes & country routes (with some of these now part of the suburbs themselves after all these years.
Each route has a regular map & a topographical map, & turn by turn directions as well.
A calorie counter for each ride, a listing of the distance each step of the way, & how long it takes to ride at various speeds is also included
The only flaws in the book are not its fault.
It is 8 years old, so comparing the routes to a current Thomas Brothers Map is a must just to be sure there are no changes to the routes & terrain that you need to be aware of.
All sorts of resource info, some of which may have outdated addresses & phone numbers, is also included in the front & back of the book.
All in all, well worth the price of admission.
