Great routes

Good routes in this book, with some excellent descriptive text for each ride. These really aren't bicycle "tours", since a tour is usually defined as a ride that's more than one day, but no matter.

Great fun, you need a supplemental map.

I have read (and used) Ms. Zatz's book. I especially enjoyed the 'Old Mine Road' and "Lebanon State Forest' tours. I would caution that any cyclist use a supplmental map, with more detail, and study it thoroughly before starting the tours. I have found that the maps printed in the book lack enough detail to be helpful. Without a more detailed map it is quite easy to make an error in navigation.I did find that her mileage counts seem very accurate, at least they matched my bike computer.
