Mountain Biking Southern California's Best 100 Trails

Rating:
Summary: A decent, but often confusing guidebook.
Review: I think Fine Edge makes some great recreation topo maps for mt. biking, but I was frequently disappointed by this book. It's written by groups of different authors, and as a result, it's way uneven. Some regions feature good, clear writing, others are almost shockingly bad. (Palm Springs cyclists will hate it.) I'm kind of ashamed to admit it, but some of the route descriptions and maps got me lost, too. Maybe it was my fault, but I don't think so. For a company based in Bishop that makes such good recreation maps, the maps here seem especially lame. Bottom line: I'd buy this book for some of the regions, but not the others.
