Mountain Biking the Appalachians: Northwest North Carolina Southwest Virginia

Rating:
Summary: don't bother
Review: Don't waste your time and money on this book. The directions stink, the maps are awful, it's waaaaaay overworded, and it has all the personality of a flat tire. Buy Timm Muth's book instead. Or anything for that matter.

Summary: Good for locating rides in the Boone, NC/Damascus, VA area
Review: This book gives the locations of a number of mountain bike rides in both the North Carolina High Country and the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area. The book is adequate, but you will probably need to buy maps of the areas that the book describes. This is not a problem, as the authors tell which maps are needed for each ride. The region that the book covers is very popular with people throughout the Southeastern US, for good reason: the scenery is unsurpassed, and the outdoor recreation opportunites are excellent!
