The Guide to South Florida Off-Road Bicycling is an 80 page book featuring over twenty, approved, off-road bicycling destinations in South Florida: everything from technically challenging singletrack to more nature-oriented dirt roads and woodsy doubletrack. The Guide includes detailed descriptions, directions, maps, photos, wildlife information, local contacts, best times to ride, and even a history of Southeast Florida mtn-biking. Most of the trails described within the Guide have never before appeared in print. Moreover, the Guide is the first regional off-road bicycling guide that focuses only on South Florida riding.

Review
For the gonzo team racer or the bicycle dad with his kids on the weekend, this is a guide book you have to buy and read. As a totally committed advocate of mountain biking in Florida, Rob is also a very creative writer. The passion he has for certain areas and certain rides comes through in his writing. I would rate it among the best guide books I have read. -- Bill Goldstick, Oleta River SRA MTB News, 1998

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very helpful book!,
By Seth Daniels (Coral Gables, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guide to South Florida Off-Road Bicycling (Paperback)
I picked up the book awhile back and set a goal to ride every trail within. The trails vary widely and as such it seems that anyone with a mtn bike would benefit by having a copy on hand. I've done all of the rides in SE Fla in the guide and plan to ride the SW trails asap. Anyhow, safe cycling to all and I give this guide a high rating!.... Seth, Coral Gables
