All I can say is that I've ridden with the authors and these guys know SLO mountain biking. In staying true to the sport, the authors hold yearly Hammerfests, where we spend an entire Memorial Day Weekend "hammering" out the trails listed in this book, and then some. Although there isn't an Illegal Trails version of this book for obvious reasons, the legal ones clearly illustrated in this book are enough for most beginner and serious bikers alike. Fat Tire Fun features an easy-to-use format. Trails are clearly labeled and each ride is prefaced by a brief synopsis featuring a ride difficulty scale (1 to 5), ride elevation profile, and--most important of all--the PO (Poison Oak) factor. If you are going to ride SLO--or are a SLO county biking veteran--then this book is a must. I know for a fact that the authors have ridden every single trail multiple times, and they can ocassionally be found at the Pozos saloon with a gallon of Pozo Martini within arm's reach.
