Mountain Bike Here: Ontario and Central and Western New York
This first in a series of mountain bike trail guides from Boston Mills Press features over 50 legal fat-tire hotspots in Ontario and Central & Western New York. Geared to all levels of ability, this book takes us up and down rugged back-country hills, through state and provincial parks, around scenic forest loops and along rail-trail corridors. Includes maps, ratings, site descriptions, tips, cautions, regional bike club contacts, and other up-to-date, user-friendly information. Perfect for kamikaze gear-jammers, sightseeing cruisers and fitness-conscious families.
Customer Review: Get out and ride, and take this book with you.
This is a great book to get out and around if you don’t have “inside” information on where to bike. I can only comment on the Central Ontario section, which is fairly complete, although it does leave out a few county forests that are excellent rides. One weakness of the book is that the trail maps are not very accurate, especially in large, relatively unmarked areas like Durham Forest, where a compass is usefull. I highly recommend this book. Added bonus is that a lot of these trails make great cross country skiing in the winter.
