Steamboat Single Tracks : The Mountain Biking Guide to Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Rating:
Summary: BUYER BEWARE!!!!
Review: We bought this book for a trip to Steamboat in July 2003. My wife is a beginning rider, so we picked a ride classified as "easy", and described as fire roads/dirt roads throughout. That may have been the case when this book was first written in 1993, but 10 years later, there were almost no signs, and about half the course had regressed to seriously overgrown single-track. It took three of us (two with substantial outdoor and hiking experience) 6 hours to finish what should have been a 2 hour ride, as we kept getting lost and having to back track. The authors say they revise this book: DON'T BELIEVE THEM.
