Mountain Bike! Texas & Oklahoma

Rating:
Summary: Bad book by a horrible author
Review: Chuck Cypert knows as much about mountain biking as he does about being a woman. There is no benefit to buying this book whatsoever, unless you are a narrow-minded idiot, like the author.

He's clueless, and a blight upon DFW and cycling in general.

Summary: Excellent for being introduced to mountain biking in Texas
Review: Living in the DFW area, I found this book even better for myself because the author also lives in the area, and a good portion of the rides are in the DFW area. However, the entire state is covered very well. Each trail has good information on the terrain, nearby resources (including bike shop in nearby towns), a rescue index, and general warnings that you will find useful on every trail. The book is written with a lot of personality and isn't just a simple guidebook -- it's also enjoyable reading.

Summary: Great reference book for the ATB cyclist!
Review: This is a great reference tool for the travelling ATB cyclist. The maps are easily understood and exceptions are made clear in the accompanying text. Another nice feature was the rescue ratings which provide an indication of the availability of medical help should it become necessary. The author also provides a bit of history to go along with the trails and offers advice on locating "secret" local trails.
