Authors Richard Ries and Dave Shepherd live and ride in the Midwest, and they've uncovered trails to suit every mountain biker's ability and tastes. If it's good riding in Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois, it's in here. This guide save bikers precious time by leading them straight to the classic trails. Fat tire enthusiasts will find tours in the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys, Chicago-area forest preserves, and Shawnee, Hoosier, and Wayne National.
Each route profile features at-a-glance key information, a thorough ride description, a detailed trail map, helpful sources of information, proximity of important services, valuable commentary on elevation changes and possible hazards and a rescue index.
This guide also features candid and evocative photographs, vivid descriptions of the native flora and fauna, a glossary of mountain biking terms, and tips on mountain biking etiquette.
