Mountain Bike! Orange County: A Wide-Grin Ride Guide

Mountain Bike! Orange County covers the gamut of mountain biking behind the Orange Curtain, where consistently fine weather makes the activity possible all year round. From the majestic peaks of the Santa Ana Mountains to the rolling grasslands of Chino Hills State Park, there's something for everyone here. Cyclists can rip extreme drops in Laguna Canyon, explore the vast reaches of the Cleveland National Forest, and race down suburban landscapes on the Fullerton Loop. Written in a clear, brisk style, the book contains at-a-glance information for difficulty, length, and trail conditions. Descriptive ride profiles based on GPS-based maps give riders a fast visual of the pleasure and pain that lie ahead. And for those post-ride kick-backs, there are listings of where to grab a brew in the area. Ideal for either an after-work exercise or a daylong exhibition, Mountain Bike! Orange County includes rides for both novice and seasoned riders.
