More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Harry Henniker's biking guides have been widely praised, both in the cycling press and elsewhere. This latest mountain biking book has been well worth waiting for. It features routes all over Scotland: not boring routes with only spruce trees to look at, but routes full of variety, interesting for cyclists of all abilities and usually with beautiful scenery. Many of the routes are completely new, and the majority have never been published in book form by anyone else. The text and easy-to-follow maps are accompanied by stunning colour photographs. In addition to writing mountain-biking and cycling guides, Harry also runs a special bus service for cyclists based in Edinburgh. His friends and BikeBus passengers have had a great time checking out many of the routes featured here; we hope you do too!

This review is from: 101 Mountain Bike Routes (Hardcover)
Written in 1998 - and it shows ! A lot of new trails have been purpose-built in Scotland in the last 5 years and obviously none of these appear in the book. Some of the routes in the book are too easy to be considered "MTB" routes, and some are far too short to be of any interest. That said it's well written, contains useful tips and is a reasonable starting point for exploring off the beaten track.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Best booK I've found on MB trails but still very limited.,
By A Customer
This review is from: 101 Mountain Bike Routes (Hardcover)
The book is well written and very clear when describing locations and routes. The key of difficulty/route characteristics is especially useful for determining which trails are worth the effort if you are looking for more technically challenging routes as many of the trails appear to be suitable for family outings. Harry provides an enjoyable as well as informative read and provides many usefull tips and facts about access rights etc. However, the location map of trails at the front of the book looks disapointingly bare and it appears that only established, sign-posted trails are detailed in this book - which explains why there are only 101 of them. Although this book is very good for what it is ( and I have to say that it totally saved my recent holidays when I had initially thought that I wouldn't find a decent MB guide book), it seems that the only way to learn about the many other trails available to mountain bikers is to hang out with an well experienced friend and/or surf the net constantly and scrutinise OS maps.

A detailed book for enthusiasts.,
By A Customer
This review is from: 101 Mountain Bike Routes (Hardcover)
Don't take this book on the trail, photocopy pages, it's a hardback. Well written, maps and pictures included. Also a unique trail gauge, telling you how difficult the ride is. My favorite? Ride around Arran. David g.
