Customer Reviews

Good, but a little dated...

A good book that seems a bit dated without the recognition of web-based planning tools such as googlemaps and google earth.

Everything you need to know for you first bike tour

I am an intermediate level cyclist. I cycle for pleasure, but had not biked more than 40 miles at the time I purchased this book. I bought this to prepare for my first touring excursion (a measly three day trek through MA, NH, and Southern ME). This book has good insight into all the basics - what to pack, what to wear, what to eat, and, perhaps most importantly, how to train. I would recommend it for anyone thinking about touring.

A usefule tool for all riders

I found this book to be the most comprehensive, helpful and informative guide for the novice as well as experienced rider. Wether you are looking to start up or tune up their touring experience, I highly recommend it. Also, anyone who may be getting ready to start training or is considering purchasing equipment for some touring. It will give you helpful information regarding the purchase of your equipment, planning trips and even training.
