While there are several multi-day trips in the guide, this book is targeted at the more serious recreational rider who is looking for day rides of 25 to 60 miles. It covers quite a large area, mostly in Washington State, with general and detailed descriptions of the routes, augmented by line maps. One nice feature is that it details the vertical profile of each ride so you can see what you're getting into when it comes to climbing hills at various milage points in the rides.

I've ridden about 1/3 of the routes and have found the rides well planned and accurately described. There is always a place to stop for a break near mid-way, and often alternatives to shorten or lengthen the trip. A great book to get you in touch with quiet roads or bike trails that you otherwise may never discover.

Good reference of some of the favorite multi-day bicycle tours in the Northwest.

It's well enough written with nice information for routes included. But more coastal routes than I'd prefer living in MT and meeting ID friends once or so a year for rides. However I thought it better than Eastern WA Rides as many seemed to be connected with towns than country. Hope to put it to more use than right now I can see however I can see that it would be right for others living in the area of the trails described.

I recommend the rail road conversion to bike trails as a better source for the kind of rides we were looking for. The one that covers WA, ID and OR too.
