Great new guide book!
The directions are very clear but not dry because the author spices them up with relevant tips and cultural/historical information for each area. I recently received this book as a gift, and it makes me want to get out on the road! The book has clear, carefully delineated maps to go with each of the rides across Texas. My favorite part is the "Highlights Along the Way" section at the end of each ride. Did you know you can visit vineyards near Stonewall, TX and try French Bordeaux wine? (ride #15 in the Hill Country) Or visit a museum dedicated to Texas' Danish culture and Viking heritage in Danevang? (ride #20)

Though the book is marketed to bikers, many of the rides would be appropriate for cyclists looking for longer rides. Some of the rides are in the 60-70 mile range.

Great book! It would make a good gift for the biker who has everything. It's hard to believe it took so long to get such a good guide book for bikers in Texas on the market.

Rev it up with this great book!

In her eloquent lyrical style, Ms Waldman takes us across the varied terrain of Texas and magically transports the reader to such diverse locales as Palo Duro Canyon in the Panhandle and the Big Thicket forests of deep East Texas. You need not be a motorcycle rider or a Texan to benefit from this latest contribution to the travel genre.
I have ridden many of the routes described in the book and find the information accurate and helpful.
This book is a wonderful resource for the serious rider and also a vacation for the mind for the vicarious reader.

Bikers Guide to Texas
This book does more for the novice, general or expert rider than any book on riding in Texas that is currently on the market. I am a native Texan and have been a bike rider since 1962.
I was luckly enough to meet the author and the three riders on the cover are from the midlifecycles. com riding group.
Enjoy and buy an extra copy for Christmas and send it to any rider you know. They will really appreciate it.
