The origianl guide was written in 1986 and this most recent edition is updated wih revised and added trips for all levels of cyclist. The included tours are reworked and include great little maps that covers both mileage and elevation. This is key so that one knows what one is getting into before one attempts a tour, nothing worse than to have a destination with a grade beyond one's abilities or training level ! I have three different bike tour books for San Diego county and find Shad's to be compact and the easiest to understand. The suggetions and recomendations are priceless. The star rating is helpful with one being flat like Lake Murray to the more challenging Mt. Palomar climb being a four star ride. The rating system is not only based on grade but total mileage of the tour as well. Throughout the years I've used this book the most and break it out every now and then to get new motivation.You can even pack this one with you if so desired. With so many roads to ride in San Diego county it is convenient to have the book for reference . It is an inspirational colllection of rides from throughout the diverse landscape that will guarantee to get one out of the rut of doing the same rides. This is the guidebook that'll get you to places you've thought about riding, it's that extra push you've been looking for.Recommended for mountain and road cyclists of all ages and abilities as there is something for everyone in this handy little book.

This review is from: Cycling San Diego (Paperback)

I bought this book on a trip to San Diego when an attempt to visit a lake on bike failed. The person I cycle with has limited range, and I do not wish to crash anymore than I already have by riding something too advanced for my skill level. I tried the Lake Miramar trip and fell in love with cycling San Diego, and this book. I can't wait to try more of the trips. My only complaint is that the directions are small inset illustrated maps. We missed the Lake Miramar entrance twice. I suggest additional mapquest directions for people who are out of town. I really enjoyed this book, and I recommend it.
