A must have for Cyclists!!!

Fabulous Book! A must have for Cyclists!!! Have bought each edition at least once -- for self and as gifts. Each new edition gives the latest information on the ever-growing trail system. You can tell that the two authors have well used the trails, and know what's important to users. This is not a fluff piece by a travel editor or a tourist agency publication. This is the Definitive guide for all trail users - walk/run/hike, bike, and cross-country skiing. Not only has great descriptions of each trail by mile marker, but also has a list of the Trailheads, with location and amenities, at the end of each section. Lists Trail Length & Surface type, Character, Special usage restrictions, and gives the Driving time from Pittsburgh, so you can plan your outings.Sections detail historical and scenic importance and include trail map and GPS coordinates, and list the local Trail organization information. Several black and white photos give you an idea of the trail's character.Book also includes trails just over the border -- Ohio, WV and the C & O Trail. Last section of book gives sample itineraries for multiple day trips, plus things to know about yourself and your equipment before attempting one.
