5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for exploring the trails around Bend, June 20, 2004

A tad dated (hint for a revisied edition!), this is the most authoratative description of Bend's mountain biking trail system. After four years of living and mountain biking in the Bend area, I still have a couple trails that Scott has written about that I haven't completed. This book along with the Bend area Adventure map (available at any local bike shop) are indispensible when enjoying the amazing and endless mountain bike trails of central Oregon.

Awesome book from a mountain bikers point of view. Plenty of facts and details make using this guide a no brainer. The info is very accurate and the choices are endless for rides of various lengths and skill levels. I never new how much riding Oregon offered(and Bend in particular)but this Book made the trip easy breezey as far as what to ride.
