Rides for both road and mountain bikes on paved roads, dirt lanes, and mountain trails throughout the state. The hills and valleys of western Massachusetts are a prime destination for cyclists of all persuasions who seek tranquil, rural areas and challenging, enjoyable rides on roads free of traffic and congestion. The 30 rides collected here follow scenic country roads with a variety of terrain that also feature geographic, historical, and cultural interest. The rides range in length from short jaunts to challenging multi-day tours. Each tour description includes directions to the start as well as distance, terrain, road or trail surface, approximate riding time, and the recommended type of bike to use. Along with mile-by-mile directions, author Andi Fusco provides fascinating commentary on the history and culture of the region. Also included are listings for bike rentals, repair shops, and lodgings for overnight tours. 25 black-and-white photographs, 30 maps

Not so back backroads..., July 7, 2005
By G. Hubley (Western Massachusetts)
|
|
I have just received my copy of this book and wanted others to know that the roads described as 'backroads' are not necessarily so. Route 116, Damon Road in Northampton, Old Deerfield, Route 9 through Williamsburg...they are all fine roads, but some are actually quite heavily traveled. These are not the dirt roads shown on the cover! Though the rides may be fine for some (even most) they are not as quiet and safe for children as you might be expecting.
