Summary: One of the Best Bike Books Available
Review: As one of the Friday Riders listed in this book, I have known and ridden with Bob Sobie, the author of the Elroy Sparta Trail Guidebook, for a number of years. As a matter of fact it was my Bachelor bike ride that Bob mentions in the book. As an author and a psychologist I believe I have a unique perspective of Bob and the words he wrote in this book. If the famous analyst C.G. Jung were to meet Bob he would probably call him a "sensing" person. Let me tell you why I believe that's important for an author of a guidebook. Being a sensing person Bob writes what he gets through his senses. He writes about what sights you will see. He describes the sounds you'll hear. He includes how much the trail will incline or decline. He even includes what you should expect from sleeping and eating at various places along the trail. Though his own passion about the trail definitely does leak out, he leaves whether you ride or how much you ride up to you, as he does with all the other attractions in the area.

Review: Finally....the essential trail guide worthy of the scenic Elroy Sparta Trail----America's first rails-to-trails bikeway. From tunnels to trails to history to tourist attractions to accommodations, the Sobie Guide is a celebration of cycling and the natural beauty of the unglaciated regions of southwest Wisconsin.

Summary: Elroy Sparta Trail Guidebook
Review: If you plan on riding the Elroy Sparta trail in Wisconsin this is a must have book. Take your time and read it before venturing to the trail. The author has ridden this trail numerous times and lists all the best places to eat, sleep and visit. He mentions places that are "must sees" you will probably miss if you don't read this book. The author also did a lot of research on the construction and history of the railroad and tunnels that ran where this trail resides. This info is included in the book. Grab yourself a copy and highlight all of the places that you would like to visit then go out and hit the trail.
