This review is from: Best Bike Rides in the Midwest, 2nd (Best Bike Rides Series) (Paperback)

Information is somewhat dated. The style of the book is a bit old fashion with maps the lack detail. Only 3 trails in IL listed. Good turn-by-turn directions (written).

"Rail-Trails Midwest Great Lakes" is a good update, good maps 113 trails 23 in IL.

I had read this book. I was very impressed with the amount of the information packed into this fine paper back. I think Phil Van Valkenberg had done a superb job! Love the cover photo!
