Awesome trail guide for Oklahoma and Texas,
By Chuck Cypert (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mountain Bike! Texas & Oklahoma, 2nd: A Guide to the Classic Trails (Paperback)
Since I am the author I think this is the best trail guide book on the market for my two favorite states, Oklahoma and Texas. I worked my ...off on this project, it is the second guide book I have done about mountain biking in these two states, actually the second edition of the same book.I had such a blast working on this project but was quite glad to see it finished. Now I have a blast going back and rereading it and remembering what fun I had while out on research trips. Most were a pleasure, I got to meet some great folks and do some very excellent riding, though there were a few trips that bordered on miserable due to bad weather or general fatigue on my part as I neared the end of traveling for research. My hat is off to the many bike clubs and excellent shops I encountered along the way, and all the super people who helped me complete this project. Thanx to you all, hope to see you and ride again soon. Chuck in DAllas

`mountain bike texas and oklahoma,
By Jim Edens (Bismarck arkansas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mountain Bike! Texas & Oklahoma, 2nd: A Guide to the Classic Trails (Paperback)
This is a well written book,If you wanted to take the ultimate vacation,grab your bike,a bottle of gatoraid and this book,and head for the hills.the author has taken the time to rate all aspects of the trails from length, to difficulty.He even decribes the scenery. The maps are first rate and are a nice addition.For those who are new to mt biking the glossary in the back of the book will come in handy when you get around all the hardcore bike freaks and will enable you to hold your own with them! To sum it all up,. I would recomend this book to anyone with the slightest interest in oklahoma or texas,or cycling in general.
