Bay Area Mountain Bike Trails: 45 Mountain Bike Rides Throughout the San Francisco Bay Area Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Conrad's mountain bike book is in his normal, factual and precise format. No fluff here. He helps you determine the aerobic and technical difficulty, locate the trialhead, and takes you through the odometer driven turns. Trail information is very complete and includes 2 graphics per trail: one a normal map with arrows, the other a chart showing elevation change per mile. You can still get lost or get in over your head, but not because of this book.
My only complaint is that some of my favorite mountain bike areas and trails are not included. On the other side, I'm kinda glad.

Mountain Bike San Francisco and the Bay Area: A Wide-Grin Ride Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this book based upon the other reviews of 5 stars. I brought this book with me to China Camp in Marin. It was woefully inadequate as to the representation of the trails. There are a multitude of trails that are not shown nor mentioned in the book. Very disappointing and a waste of money for me. I ended up purchasing "China Camp State Park" map by 360MAPS at REI to get a better representation of that area. I would not recommend this book if you are interested in detail of the area of your interest. Get a good TOPO map instead.

Mountain Biking the San Francisco Bay Area: A Guide to the Bay Area's Greatest Off-Road Bicycle Rides (Regional Mountain Biking Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you love moutain biking in the San Francisco Bay Area, then this book is your new best friend!
Detailed maps, great photos and tons of great rides that will challenge and inspire you as well as leave you breathless (both figuratively and literally). This book's detailed descriptions of where to catch the trails and navigate some of the best mountain biking in the world is a must for both locals and visitors to the birthplace of mountain biking. I especially loved the Marin trails section because it opened my eyes to some rides I didn't know about which have now become some of my favorites. And if you love single track riding, then Jackson will take you on some of the most harrowing rides you can imagine -- I've got the scabs and scars on my knees and thighs to prove it!
Buy this book!
