5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-have for the adventurous offroad enthusiast,
By Jim Harding (Issaquah, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mountain Bike Adventures in Washington's South Cascades & Puget Sound (Paperback)
This book covers many of the great rides that most of the population areas of the state can ride. We have particularly enjoyed the level of detail of the routes off of highway 410. The author's superlative explanations were so enticing that we ventured the 100 miles from our home to test them out--ever point was justified. We have been back 3 times in the last month to try them again. Without a book like this, you just have to take your chances...with the odds not always in your favor. Each documented route has great directions on how to get there and how to get through the route and back out with meticulous attention to the key scenic points, the level-setting of the difficulty, and the waypoints (in 10ths of miles). On our last ride, we were discussing the ride up Bald Mountain with strangers who were also carrying the same book with them on their bikes. We're not the only advocates. All-in-all, Kirkendall's book is a great motivator to get out and enjoy the splendor of this state on two wheels. You can't be disappointed by this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Mountain Bike Adventures in Washington's South Cascades & Puget Sound (Paperback)
Lots of detail about the areas. Concise, laid out like other good guide books with standard sets of info about each area. I haven't actually been on any of the trails described yet, but I want to now.
