Book Description

Mountain Bike Series June 1, 1996
Travel south of the Mason-Dixon line and discover the mystery of the Deep South. In spite of humidity and mosquitoes the size of golf balls, exploring the Deep South's wilderness is richly rewarding. With the region's amazing geographical and meteorological diversity, it pays to have the inside scoop on mountain biking. From the Louisiana levee to the North Georgia mountains, Mountain Bike! The Deep South will introduce you to the thrill of exploring this magnificent region while helping you discover its most unforgettable rides.

This guide provides detailed information on over 75 of the best rides throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, including tours through the New Orleans area, the Mississippi Delta, the Natchez Trace, Alabama's Gulf Shore, and the lush gardens of central Georgia. From rugged single-track ascents to leisurely rides along tranquil lakes, if it's good riding, it's profiled here.

Each route profile features 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 interesting and entertaining photographs, vivid descriptions of the native flora and fauna, a glossary of mountain biking terms, and tips on mountain biking etiquette and the truth about suicide among armadillos.

4.0 out of 5 stars MT Bike! The deep south, July 14, 2000
By 
E Pias (Shreveport, LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mountain Bike! Deep South (Paperback)
Great book for info on trails in LA, MS, AL, GA. I am familiar with the trails in LA and MS and the author's interpretation of the trails is very accurate from difficulty of the trail to trail condition. He did miss a couple of trails in LA. One is relatively new and located at Bodacau Park (army corps of engineers). Good technical trail. Off I-20. The Kisatchie National forest trails (caroline dorman and one other) are probably not good to ride right now as there are forest fires flaring in that area 7/00. Those trails are rather rocky to ride too. Cheers. This is a great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Gift Idea!, January 6, 2004
This review is from: Mountain Bike! Deep South (Paperback)
Especially if you are new to mountain biking and live in the SE USA, this book is just fantastic! It pointed me to places and experiences that I will never forget. I kept it in my car as I traveled around the Southeast. Maybe I couldn't go ride some days but I discovered places that intrested me for future riding opportunities. This book was given to me as a Christmas present. It makes a great one!
