Road Biking Virginia,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Road Biking Virginia (Paperback)
My biking group and I are continuously looking for new ideas to expand our routes and learn about the Virginia back roads. This book gives you all you could possibly want. I love the detailed descriptions of the terrain and conditions of each proposed ride; but also the inclusion of attractions and local events to add to the pleasure of planning the trip. This book is already getting dog-eared with rides I am staking out for me and my friends.

Goshen Memories,
By A Customer
This review is from: Road Biking Virginia (Paperback)
As someone who bicycled through Rockbridge County for years, I know firsthand the beauty of the Goshen Ramble (#29) and the fun that comes with the Rockbridge Challenge (#31). I eagerly awaite Jim's next effort--hopefully Pennsylvania. Jim's descriptions of the sights, eateries, and technical details in "The Basics" are accurate. Here's looking forward to doing the Burkes Garden Ramble (#39) and eating at Spanky's in Lexington! This guide will accompany me when next I travel to Virginia--whether by bike or car.

Great Job Jim!,
By hank graebener (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Road Biking Virginia (Paperback)
This is the guidebook that should be in every bikers' saddlebag!Mr. Homerosky has managed to pack an abundance of information on 40 rides in just a bit over 200 pages. The ride and route information is clear and concise and a delight to read. I like the way the author gives the rider the oppurtunity to tailor the rides to his/her level; the rider can 'go the distance' or opt to cut it short without missing the best of what the ride has to offer. I like his notations and footnotes that point out the local interests: and the mentioning of local bike shops and watering holes are a huge plus.
