This review is from: Mountain Biking Ohio : A Guide to Singletrack Trails in the Buckeye State, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

I bought the book used from one of the sellers on Amazon. It was worth what I paid, but this is the 1997 Edition. A lot of info in the book, and maps. Great book to get trail riding ideas from to plan your trip. I don't think I would have paid the advertised price (new) for this book though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, January 29, 2001

This review is from: Mountain Biking Ohio : A Guide to Singletrack Trails in the Buckeye State, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

This book should be read by anyone interested in the Ohio trails. The book shows maps, warnings of hunters and anything else that the rider needs to know before the journey is begun.
