Good basic guide, mainly for the maps

We just completed a coastal ride from San Francisco to Mexico. I bought this book prior to the trip hoping it would shed some light on what to expect, tips, training, etc. I was initially disappointed. But..as we started our trip we found the maps were very valuable (the rest of the book..so/so). The altitude scales were okay, but good enough to set some level of expectations. They didn't always reflect the map in the...

reliable, clear, detailed cycling guide

I've used this guide twice to ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles (different editions through the years) and found it to be accurate and helpful...definately written by people who understand cycling. The route takes you off the highway at busy cities where bikes must exit the main road, and provides good descriptions and a safe route to get through town and back to the main road at the other end. for example, you exit...

Canada to Mexico without a hitch!

This book proved to be our bible during a 6 week ride from Vancouver to San Diego (we just crossed the Mexican border and back again). A lot of other cyclists we met also had the book on them.

Occasionally the book would suggest that places...

A Must Have Guide

This guide is a must have for anyone wanting to ride the Pacific Coast. I just used it to for a solo ride from San Francisco to the Mexican border. The guide provides turn by turn instructions to navigate through unfamiliar territory and can even provide some surprises in areas that you may know pretty well. It was very helpful in daily planning for stops for food, water, etc. and for some unplanned needs like bike shops...

The most complete Pacific Coast cycling book

From someone who had never toured on a bike before, this book was my "bible". Having now toured many times in many different places, this book is the most complete, most accurate and most detailed I have ever seen. While riding down the coast, I photocopied the second half of the book to give to a German man who was floundering with his cycling association maps. He loved the review of the day's elevation climbs the most...
