Moon Northern California Biking: More Than 160 of the Best Rides for Road and Mountain Biking (Moon Outdoors)

While a book of this scope must , by necessity, compromise on whether to give a breif description of many rides or a detailed description of a select number of rides, the author does a fine job of balancing the two. There are many rides listed encompassing a large geographic area. The reader is given a good description and directions for each ride. Level of diffuculty and type of terrain is clearly delineated. A good map ( and usually a picture ) , mileages, and turn by turn directions are included. I first read the sections on rides I have done before to compare the book's depiction with my own experience. I have to say they match very closely. The book is organized into geographic areas , so it is easy to find a ride in the place you are visiting. Directions to the starting point and area services are incuded and quite helpful. Thoroughly researched and accurate. A great amount of information for a wide variety of interests. Highly recommended !

Saw this book while I was getting a hitch installed on my suv.... we had recently purchased electric bikes so we truly can’t wait to use the book. I have highlighted all the paved routes that we can ride. For our needs, it is exactly what we were looking for and the attention to detail with the maps is perfect

I have several of the moon hiking books, and this one doesn't disappoint. It's interesting that it combines both road biking routes and mountain biking routes, but it works. It's very thorough, and of the rides that I'm familiar with, the information is accurate. As usual with the moon books, it is laid out in sections, so if you're planning a trip to an area, you can see all your ride options at a glance on the map. Very well laid out and researched.

Got three books on cycling in N. Cali for an upcoming trip. This one is far and away the best. Good detail. Nicely written. I haven't hit the roads yet but I'll let you know if I"m disappointed.

Well done book. I just wish there were more road riding options. It's mostly off road or combination rides where you'd need a hybrid.. or patience to just ride slow.

Present for daughter-in-law to go with her new bike.

Many trails for road and off road bikes. Very informative.

Moon publishing are some of the greatest guides ever. If you want hours of trails roads and just great touring this is the way to go!

Quite good on mtb, but a bit sparse on road biking. For Tarmac, I wouldn't recommend it.
