Good, practical, useful book

I am a veteran of Gerry Brooks cycling tours in NYC, and was saddened to learn that hes no longer running them on a scheduled basis. So I was really pleased to see this book, which contains the routes, driving directions and other key information relating to the Brooks Country Cycling Daytrips. The trips are fun, varied, pretty, and the routes are designed for quiet and safe cycling. They are designed for casual cyclists who want to enjoy the outdoors and have some fun. The option legs do cater to the more fitness-oriented among the crowd, too. The only quarrel I have with the book is that the drive time estimates seem either very optimistic, or Gerry drives with a lead foot. I would generally say that the drive times are 15-45 minutes longer than stated in the book. But otherwise, I recommend it wholeheartedly.
