Buy this book - you need it in your life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mountain Bike Guide - Mid-Wales and The Marches (Paperback)
This book is wonderful - it has rides for all abilities, over all terrains, through the most wonderful countryside around. However, what makes it perfect are the cartoon illustrations and hand drawn maps, and pages on folklore, history, Welsh language, and anything else you could think of, which makes it a really good read as well.
5.0 out of 5 stars

Truly awful cover, truly fantastic contents: The best mountain biking guide I've ever seen.
If you're ready to step things up a notch from whizzing round the welsh trail centres, give this a try.

Good book but what about the railways?!!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mountain Bike Guide - Mid-Wales and The Marches (Paperback)
This is a great book of an excellent area for biking - perhaps the best area in the UK when you take into account proximity of Coed-y-Brenin and Machynellth as well.The descriptions of the rides are excellent as is the background information on history, legends, natural history etc.. The writing style is funny and informative as well - I enjoyed reading it. However it's a pity the author couldn't manage any public transport information. This area is very well served by the railways- in fact more of the rides are accessible by rail in this book than in any other mountain bike book I've seen before. On most of the lines bike transportation is easy and free. Yet all Jon Dixon says is: 'Though most of the rides are accessible by rail the railway system is currently being privatised and it's impossible to predict the future for bikes on trains.' And that's it. He then goes on to give you a list of what you should take in your car! The result is that even where a ride actually starts right next to a railway station (e.g. Barmouth) he barely even mentions it (if at all)! I spent about half an hour plotting and then drawing in the railway route (Cambrian Coast Railway and The Heart of Wales Line) on the map in the front of this book and then noting which rides start near a station - the result is a very handy book indeed.
