Berkeley, CA: Wilderness Press, 1995. 150 pp, 8vo (8 7/16" H). B&w photographs, maps. "The Connecticut River Valley runs through New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts and offers everything for which New England is famous, including country roads and scenic byways that are just right for bicycle touring. You can pedal to the top of Mount Greylock, Massachusetts' highest peak, on a road bike; ride through the longest covered bridge in Vermont; take your mountain bike on a gondola to the top of the Mount Snow ski resort; or cycle through the spectacular colors of a New England autumn. This book describes 50 trips - 25 for road bikes and 25 for mountain bikes only. The trips range in difficulty from trips of 1-3 miles with little more than 100 feet of elevation gain, to 50 miles with more than 3,000 feet of gain. Most of the trips cover about 20 miles. Each trip description includes a route map, directions to the start of the ride, total ride distance, elevation gain, time needed to complete the route, difficulty, and type of bike needed for the trip. Also included are information on restaurants, markets and water sources along the route, and notes on the area's rich history." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks.
