Title: Beware inaccuracies!
Product review: While good for general ideas of where to ride, this book islittered with misleading information and inaccuracies. Clearlythe author has not done some of the rides, as distances aredouble those quoted in some cases (In one case the recommendedmap was listed with scale 1:25K, but the actual map available1:50K. All distances / times were double those suggested.).Some of the general mountain biking advice in the intro chaptersis questionable (eg: recommended shoes for riding, method fordescending steep hills, etc).The rides in the author's earlier book (NSW edition) appearto be better researched (but still not flawless). Perhaps thisbook is an attempt to 'cash in' on previous success?Books by this author are a running joke amongst numerous localmountain bikers.Great for inspiration, but use with caution!
