4.0 out of 5 stars Practical Bicyclist's Guide to Scenic & Small-Town WI, July 25, 2000
This review is from: SHORT BIKE RIDES WISCONSIN, 2nd Edition (Short Bike Rides) (Paperback)
This book serves the road bicyclist with an interest in recreational riding, regional history and natural features of Wisconsin. The 30-some tours described are evenly distributed over the state, and each is no more than about 30 miles in length.

If you like biking, rustic roads, local history and small-town cafes, you will appreciate this book. This book reminds me of the "Touring the Backroads" books for motorists designed for appreciating history at a small-town, local level. However, the focus is primarily on good cycling routes. Introductory notes by the author indicate that Wisconsin cycling clubs contributed their favorite routes to this work--a credit to the author's trust in real experience.

Features you'll appreciate: (1) template-style presentation of routes--safety, difficulty, length, time required, highlights, route diagram, route cue sheet, narrative profile, etc.; (2) discusses suitability of rides with respect to children or older adults; (3) tips on rest stops and food; (4) physical size of book makes it easy to carry while you ride.

If want to extend or shorten a described route, you'll have to do it on your own. For the most part, the route descriptions don't suggest variations. Look for maps published by the Bicycling Federation of Wisconsin or a bicycling club in the region, if you need to tailor a route.
