This book misrepresents trails,
By "rcina4" (Brookline, MA (USA)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mountain Bike! New Hampshire (America by Mountain Bike Series) (Paperback)
My wife & I bought this book last year to find some new rides close to our home. We finaly made it out to New Hampshire this past weekend and chose a ride listed as "Beginner" in the book. What the book called a nice ride, turned out to be nearly impassible single track riddled with boulders & roots,not to mention swamp & knee deep mudd. We spent the majority of the 12 mile ride actually walking our bikes. By the end of the trail, we were covered in mudd & exhausted. I can't imagine that the authors actually rode this trail before writting this book.

Mountain Bike! New Hampshire: A Guide to the Classic Trail,
By Ross Currier (Gilmanton Iron Works, NH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mountain Bike! New Hampshire (America by Mountain Bike Series) (Paperback)
Compared to other trail guides I've read, the author of this book is obviously not writing from too much first hand information or did not fully research each ride before writing about them. I would recommend this book only as an overview of SOME of the trails in NH, but would not recommend that anyone head out on a new trail relying only on this book to get you back.
