Good rides and easy to use. - Rated We have now completed half the rides in this book and have found it to be accurate and easy to use, especially the maps. Looking forward to the rest of the rides when it stops raining. Excellent Book - Rated If your new to mountain biking or, like me, havent been on one for ages then this is the book for you. The maps and descriptions are accurate but i would also recommend the relevant Ordnance Survey maps to accompany it ( you can get them at your local WH Smiths or Waterstones if you cant wait for Amazon to send them, the main ones you need are White Peak OS Explorer OL 24 and Dark Peak OS Explorer OL 1. You will need others if you want to complete the book but these two are the main ones ). The first trail i went on was the Bakewell & Haddon trail ( Route No2 in the book ). This is an excellent intro to the trails i thought and not too demanding. The book says it will take an hr, it took me 1 hr 30, it was six miles but the trails range from 6 miles up to around 30 and there isnt indications of degrees of difficulty but each trail has its ups and downs, so to speak. There are hilly bits and sometimes you have to get off and push if your not up to it (like me), but overall a great book. DO NOT go out on the trails without the essentials i:e water, tool kit, pump, phone etc. Expect bits of road riding so wear a helmet. You will encounter gravels tracks, tarmac tracks, muddy fields and other terrain so remember to take a SPARE INNER TUBE. I found this out after 25 mins riding when i got a thorn in my tyre, pulled it out and the tyre went flat in about 5 secs so don not forget this crucial piece of kit. Check out Mike Pearce's website at www.mike-pearce.co.uk Everything you want from a MB Route Book - Rated As I say in the title this is everything you would want from a Mountain Bike Book, with superb maps, descriptions and Photographs. I have completed the Chesterfield Round which was very good, needed a little pruning in places, but I can hardly blame the author for that. A wonderfull ride with fantastic views and a little bit of technical work on roots and boulders. The route was easy to follow and we had a good idea of where we where going because of the excellent map. The one thing that did worry me about this book is one of the photo's is of a woman riding off road without a helmet?! After hearing horror stories of people falling off and snapping helmets in 2, which saved their lives I thought the authors would have omitted the photo. Ride Safely - Wear a Helmet
