25 Bicycle Tours In and Around Washington, D. C.: From National Monuments to Country Roads

this is a good book discribes most trails well. new trails have been completed since this book was written, but has the most complete discriptions so far.

I got this as a gift for a buddy departing AFG for onward assignment to WDC. He enjoyed reading it.

I received this book as a gift recently. I was leery for several reasons: I thought I already knew the good places to ride around here. And now there is Google bicycle routes; isn't that enough? And the old-fashioned photos gave away how old this book really is (Most photos seems to be from the early 1990s). Nevertheless, I did three routes in recent weeks and they all have been excellent. They have the kind of local knowledge that I could not figure out with just a good map. Today I did the Tridelphia trek (number 16 in the book): A gem on a beautiful autumn day like today.
