This review is from: Mountain Biking Santa Cruz: The Ultimate Trail & Ride Guide for the Santa Cruz Area (Paperback)

This trail bike is definitely a must for any serious mountain biker. The Santa Cruz area has some of the best trails in Northern California and most bikers do not even realize where they are. I would definitley recommend this jam-packed book to anyone looking for a biking adventure in Santa Cruz County. The authors seem to recognize that people need information to guide them to the trails that are suited to thier particlular abilities. I found the information straightforward and precise. To the Authors - GREAT JOB -
