Mountain Biking the Great Plains States: Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota (America by Mountain Bike Series)

Rating:
Summary: From a Kansas point of view, this book is just mediocre.
Review: I can only comment on the Kansas section of this book, but that leaves a little to be desired. It seems that Knapp found the most popular trails but didn't dig too deep. Another problem is his tendency to list utterly boring rides on semi-maintained doubletrack. If someone buys a mountain biking guide book, it means they are looking for the real thing, not some flat access roads. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of alternatives to this book for cyclists in the midwest so I still have to recommend it as part of your collection, if for nothing else but the states you do not live in.
