Adventure Cycling in Northern California is divided into six regions, featuring some of Northern California's best landscapes, including the North Coast's rugged coastlines and tall redwood forests, the majestic inland valleys of Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake counties, and magnificent Yosemite National Park. Each ride includes information on level of difficulty, terrain, traffic, best time to ride, points of interest, and accommodations, plus historical background on each region.
This book has lots of interesting and easy-to-medium routes submitted by individual cyclists, including road and off-road trails. My wife and I have enjoyed the rides in this book much more than the ones in Grob's book, which are often too ambitious. We recently lost our copy on a tour, and ordered a replacement because we missed it so much! One pet peeve is that the distances are sometimes off by a few miles, making the directions a little hazy, but this only happened in a few of the rides we tried.
