4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, you need a supplemental map., October 22, 1999

This review is from: 30 Bicycle Tours in New Jersey: Almost 1000 Miles of Scenic Pleasures and Historic Treasures (Paperback)

I have read (and used) Ms. Zatz's book. I especially enjoyed the 'Old Mine Road' and "Lebanon State Forest' tours. I would caution that any cyclist use a supplmental map, with more detail, and study it thoroughly before starting the tours. I have found that the maps printed in the book lack enough detail to be helpful. Without a more detailed map it is quite easy to make an error in navigation.

I did find that her mileage counts seem very accurate, at least they matched my bike computer.

Good routes in this book, with some excellent descriptive text for each ride. These really aren't bicycle "tours", since a tour is usually defined as a ride that's more than one day, but no matter.
