Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Heaven on two wheels. In the great state of Texas, mountain bikers of all abilities can find trails that range from tranquil to tricky, and gorgeous to gonzo. There are endless plains, rolling hills, mountain ranges, deep canyons, piney forests, boggy swamps, and all other manner of places to explore and discover in the Lone Star State. So get on your bike and ride!Mountain biker and author Christopher Hess takes you on more than fifty rides through some of the toughest, prettiest, and wildest spots in the nation. Enjoy the scenic vistas of Franklin Mountain as you crank through the trails in the west, revel in the pine forests of Tyler State Park to the east, challenge yourself in the unforgiving Panhandle, with its "cast-iron frying pan" terrain and chase down every tumbleweed and desert trail in between. Insider tidbits about the region's trails and historic background make this more than just a regular trail guide. Also included: tips on riding and trip preparation; ratings for physical and technical difficulty; USGS-based route maps. (6 x 9, 224 pages, b&w photos, maps)

I love this book. You can tell this guy's from the area. He includes great details and tips about things you would otherwise miss. It's a good deal of insightful info for a few books. It's about time something like this hit the shelves for new and old Texas bikers!

5.0 out of 5 stars at long last......, October 24, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Mountain Biking Texas (Paperback)
....an excellent quality guide to Texas mountain biking. Great descriptions, a good variety of rides and text that isn't boring like some guide books. The author really inspired me to get out and hit the trails! Definitely one to own if you are interested in biking.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mountain Biking Texas 2003, April 5, 2011
By 
HTA (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mountain Biking Texas (Paperback)
The book is a great guide to mountain biking in Texas...but it was written in 2003. That means the information is dated. For example Pace Bend -- park fees have changed, dogs are no longer allowed off-leash, and new, very difficult trails have been created. Get it. Read it. But view it as a jumping off point to get started on your mountain biking adventures. Definitely verify details before you head out.
