Editorial Reviews

From the Author

The bicycle trails of Minnesota and Wisconsin follow rivers, cut through northern forests and tunnels, skirt lakes and stop in charming small towns that anyone would want to call home. As writers, our goal was to bring the whole experience of bicycle touring to our readers. We give the usual information about the trails: trail highlights, trail length, type of riding surface, how to get there, etc., but we also include a calendar of festivals and events near each trail, lodging and camping information and alternate activities such as antique shopping, canoeing and museums. With this information, a weekend bike ride becomes a mini-vacation. Our maps are our own, four color, original design, not a quick download from Yahoo. They include information about how to reach the trail head, parks and beaches near the trail, and an extensive network of low traffic country roads that allow you to break away from the trail to explore the entire region.

From the Inside Flap

Explore the rail trails and back roads of Minnesota and Western Wisconsin by bicycle, then enjoy community events and festivals, do some shopping, canoe a river or take in a museum. Bicycle Vacation Guide will help you plan your next trip from start to finish.

Check out the maps. They're four color, professionally drawn and easy to read. Need extra maps? You can order a complete set of the exact same four color maps for about the cost of photo copying. No need to carry the book or run down to the copy shop or tear out maps.

Enjoy your next bicycle vacation. The bicycle vacation Guide has done everything possible to make it easier, except push the pedals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete information on Minnesota and Wisconsin Rail Trails, April 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Bicycle Vacation Guide: Minnesota & Wisconsin (Paperback)
Sharp maps, all of them are four color. The authors even included maps of the towns along the trail. Nice for finding trail heads and local parks.
They included a lot of tourist type information like lodging, camping, local festivals and events and other activities for when you aren't on the bike. The road loops are a nice touch. Ride one way on the trail, then return on a road.
