Title: AWESOME cycling guide
Review: AWESOME cycling guide! Each ride is super descriptive and easy to follow. The maps and turn-by-turn directions are really helpful for areas that you might not be familiar with. Even after living in Boulder CO for the past 8 years, this book has opened my eyes to even more fabulous routes and variations of rides in my region. You can tell the author has a true love for the sport and each ride has been perfectly described and meticulously selected. I did the "Coal Mine - Oak Creek" ride in Steamboat and literally felt like I had done it before just from reading the book! There is also a nice variety of rides for each region, which makes it easy to decide on one depending on how you are feeling. Over all awesome guideâ¦Iâll be waiting for a mountain biking version to come out some day :)!

Review: I just returned from a Colorado road cycling trip and used this guide for about a dozen rides in the northwest quadrant of the state. The guide was excellent, with just about everything very clearly described and routed, and even the directions to pre-ride parking were quite helpful. The maps provided just the right amount of detail. Based on my experience with this guide, I've already gone ahead and have purchased another in Sumner's "75 Classic Rides" series.
