About this title

From the Author

The best Bay Area roads have ups and downs
When I wrote Bay Area Bike Rides I had been riding in the Palo Alto area for nine years and in that time I covered tens of thousands of miles, most of them in the Santa Cruz Mountains and Coast Range.

Here is where you'll find some of the best bike riding in the world. Bay Area Bike Rides covers all of my favorite routes.

It was written for the three major styles of riding -- casual, mountain bike, road, and that's why it is segmented into these three sections.

Every route was painstakingly documented by riding and measuring using an Avocet cyclometer.

Don't let the longer rides dissuade you from buying the book. You can easily do portions of a ride. You're getting more for your money this way.
