Beachway Press has done it again. Mountain Bike Oregon is the latest release from the publishers' Mountain Bike America Series. And just like all its earlier cousins, Mountain Bike Oregon is the only trail guide you'll ever need. Mountain Bike Oregon is simply the best available book on the market. Finally a trail guide with super accurate maps and details.

Dunegan's fresh approach gives you the nuts-and-bolts of each ride and helpful tips about riding, camping, gear and even how to get your dog in shape for mountain biking. Then she provides a great list of bed and breakfasts, coffee houses, micro-breweries and other fun information about places to see and things to do.

Mountain Bike Oregon contains trails for all levels of ability. You can try a three day outback tour of the southeast desert, ride on the rim of a giant volcanic caldera, pedal through Portland's Forest Park, or ride the Lithia Loop that starts in downtown Ashland. And there are over fifty more rides to choose from. If you love to mountain bike, and you ride in Oregon, you need this book. It is simply the best available book on the market. And at only $15.95 it is a great buy. -- Dirt Northwest, May 1998

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome maps, May 19, 2000

By A Customer

This book is the first guidebook I've seen that truly has maps that are useful. They are so visually detailed and helpful that I would highly recommend this mountain bike guide to any new or experienced mountain biker. Oh yeah, when I'm on the road this book also gives me a lot of history and information about the area I'm visiting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive guidebook, May 28, 2000

By A Customer

I'm am glad to finally see a comprehensive mountain bike guidebook that covers subjects that many readers want more information about. This guidebook includes a section on mountain bicyle camping and biking with your dog. I've always wanted to take my gear with me and camp overnight and this section was very helpful. It lists outdoor vendors that carry camping gear and gives you a sample list of what you should bring. This book even has overnight a trail called "Haystack Lake" that is a good trail for those wanting to try their first overnight trip. I also have a dog and the "Mountain Biking with Your Dog" section gave a lot of practical advice I could use and also listed vendors that sell dog gear. I'm so glad to finally see a book that not only describes great trails but also is a great reference for other aspects of mountain biking!

Lizann's book is the best guide I've ever read! Great photos, maps and descriptions of some of the best riding in the Pacific Northwest. A great buy for any fat tire rider who's new to the area.
