Gobs of information! This book didnt leave me on an abandoned trial that is blocked by a new housing development like SOME BOOKS. Recommended!

An excellent resource

This book organizes all of its road rides and off-road rides together in 8 geographic areas in Northern California, and includes difficulty ratings, distance, time, elevation profile, map, directions and useful descriptions for each ride. What I like best is the authors lists of "best" bike rides in 12 different categories, such as Best Oceanfront Rides, Best Rides for Wildlife Viewing, and Best Rides to Waterfalls, among others. It covers more routes than any other bike guide Ive seen or owned.

very handy indeed

I am an avid biker (http://www.sujee.net/outdoors/biking/) and this book has found a permanant place in my camel-back! I have read/bought my share of biking books in Northern california. But I liked this one better b/c

A) rides are clearly classified mountain or road : this seems trivial, but more than once I had turned up to a trail with my road bike, just to find out the trail is not paved / dirt.

B) Every ride has clearly marked how to get there difficulty and elevation maps, etc.

C) All rides are neatly catogorized into locations and a very easy to use reference / Table of Contents

D) Plenty of rides for every level. Most of them have a little insider tips as well.
