Customer Reviews

Very Helpful In General

After buying this book and riding Blommer's recommended route from Chicago to Milwaukee I was surprised by the other negative review. In general this book was well organized and very helpful to a person unfamiliar with the trail systems or bike options in the area. It would be possible to get bike maps and layout your own route, but I found the book especially helpful with directions to the most scenic routes through Kenosha and Racine. The otherwise excellent Wisconsin Bike Maps have no city detail and the locals, unless they use the trail systems, are usually clueless about directions to the trailheads, which I found continuing on trails to Madison. The book isn't perfect but it was a big help to an out-of-towner like myself. Whether you use Blommer's book or not, the ride is an excellent way to experience two great American cities.
