5.0 out of 5 stars A gem -- especially for Southern California, Dec 6 2003
By 
Ted Nace (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lonely Planet Cycling USA-West Coast (Paperback)
I don't know how well this book handles Oregon and Washington, but the Southern California section is outstanding -- meticulous attention to detail both in terms of road info and in terms of background on towns and accommodations. Also, there is tons of fascinating stuff here on local natural history, place-specific cultural lore, and interesting goings-on, all worth many times the price of the book. The writers seem to be in love with this part of the world, and their enjoyment of it is contagious. For anyone planning to ride along the part of the coast south of San Francisco (including Catalina Island), you will be missing out on a lot of useful information if you don't get hold of this gem. ENJOY!!

2.0 out of 5 stars A broad survey, Mar 14 2006
By jjmucr "jjmucr" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Planet Cycling USA-West Coast (Paperback)
I was looking for something with more depth. This scratches a very broad surface of the more popular rides. One can get much of this info on the Internet, perhaps making this book obsolete.
