25 Bike Tours In The 'Dacks

Six million-acre Adirondack Park is the largest wilderness east of the Mississippi-and an underutilized destination for world-class mountain biking. A licensed Adirondack Guide, Peter Kick has selected 25 of the park's best tours, ranging from 4 to 80 miles in length and including something for riders of every level. Kick also offers advice on how to ride each trail responsibly, respecting the rights of other trail users as well as the park's unique and fragile ecology. Each tour includes directions to the trail, up-to-date maps and regulations, surface conditions, trail highlights, nearby bike repair shops, and detailed, mile-by-mile directions. "The most comprehensive book on mountain biking in the Adirondack mountains…well written and knowledgeable, with extremely accurate and detailed trail descriptions…every mountain biker riding in the Adirondacks should have it." Ted Christodaro, Adirondack Mountain Bike Association
