Sunday Rides with the Family,
By
This review is from: Italy by Bike: 105 Tours from the Alps to Sicily (Dolce Vita) (Paperback)
I was quite disappointed with this book. I am planning a bicycle touring trip, and I bought this book to help. Most of the rides in this book are ~30km loops meant for a sunday ride with the kids. Many are on poor roads, requiring a mountain bike, and many are not in very interesting locations. There are a few longer, more challenging itineraries.
Not a book I would recommend for someone looking for serious rides.
