About the Author
Rich and Sue Freeman once masqueraded as corporate executives. In 1996 they turned their backs on the long hours, high pay, and an empty feeling to spend six months walking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. This trek changed their lives forever. Since returning to civilized life, theyve sold their house, written and published books on hiking and biking trails around Rochester N.Y., and started a publishing company. The Freemans are investigating options for their next adventure.

A great family resource,

This review is from: Take Your Bike! Family Rides in the Rochester (NY) Area (Trail Guidebooks) (Paperback)
Are there more bike shops per capita in Rochester or is it just that so many people want to enjoy the outdoors from May through October? I can't think of a more enjoyable source of weekend r&r than taking one of the trails suggested in this book. There are good suggestions for ability, the maps are adequate, and the directions to the start of the trail are clear. The only thing I'd add to this book is an online link for printable maps so I don't have to take the book (although pocketable) along. A must for any Rochesterian who wants to enjoy the trails around town.
