About the book:
Rides in Road Biking Michigan range from 9.5 miles to 85 miles and are located all over the state, from the tip of the Keweenaw in the U.P. to the Ohio-Indiana state line. While most of the rides are on roads, nine rides use portions of bike trails. Categorized into four levels of difficulty, each ride includes turn-by-turn directions, maps, recommendations on accommodations and restaurants, information on local events and attractions, details on traffic conditions and road hazards and photos.
What reviewers say:
ForeWord Magazine:
“…a readable book that will encourage the hesitant to strap on a helmet.”
“The author knows her roads intimately, and is able to get a bicyclist excited about the ride with tidbits of history and unique attractions.”
Traverse, Northern Michigan’s Magazine (April 2005):
“Noga knows the tip of the mitt like the back of her handlebars and it shows…she also does downstaters proud with a heap of scenic tours just a quick spin from the suburbs.”
