You met my husband the other day and gave him your card. I am wondering about directions for all these trips. Do you have directions in your book of the exact rides? The internet just gives the names. I am interested in the book if it gives details of the rides you mention. And also the cost of the book
Thanks

Hello Sherry,
Yes the book has exact turn-by-turn directions and detailed maps with each turn clearly marked and numbered.
Have a look at the “Sample Rides” page to see an example of the map and description. NOTE: if you click on the map it will enlarge it to show more detail.
Thanks for your interest,
David
I found this website after getting the book from Santa. This was quite the treat and I’m looking forward to some warmer weather to ride the loops. One question: does anyone know of an app for my iPhone so I can download these loops into and have turn-by-turn directions? I’m not really interested in downloading it, converting it, uploading it, etc…just looking for a plug and play. I’m not worried about having to pay for the app or anything, just wanting to know if someone knows for sure what will work well.
Thanks in advance, JB
