With over two hundred miles of mountain-bike trails, Pisgah National Forest is a Mecca for cycling enthusiasts. In fact, USA Today and leading cycling magazines have lauded the Pisgah District as one of the top five mountain-biking areas in the United States. The trails in the Pisgah District meander through hardwood coves, snake along mountain streams, and climb to scenic overlooks nearly 5,000 feet high. The 30 rides in this guide range from steep climbs and thrilling descents that will challenge expert cyclists to easy trails for novices and children. Each ride includes information about trail access, elevation changes, and seasonal usage, along with a map, a difficulty rating, and a detailed, mile-by-mile account of the trails themselves. The text is illustrated with over 50 black-and-white photographs that show mountain biking in North Carolina at its absolute best. Before her untimely death, freelance writer Lori Finley published articles in a number of magazines, including Bicycling, Paddler, and Bike Report.

Even devoted readers of mountain-bike magazines may be unaware of the great rail trails of southwest Virginia and the outstanding trails in Mount Rogers National Recreation Area. In northwest North Carolina, the rides around Boone and Blowing Rock, Wilson Creek, Linville Gorge, and Boone Fork are also little-known treasures. You'd better take advantage of the solitude now, because mountain biking this good will not remain untouched by fame. The high country of northwest North Carolina and southwest Virginia is a labyrinth of single-track trails, logging roads, and overgrown jeep tracks. The 33 rides in this guide, ranging from easy to extremely strenuous, are some of the region's "classics." Each chapter includes information about trail access and elevation changes, along with a map, a difficulty rating, and a detailed, mile-by-mile account of the ride. The text is illustrated with black-and-white photographs throughout. Before her untimely death, freelance writer Lori Finley published articles in a number of magazines, including Bicycling, Paddler, and Bike Report. Thomas Horsch lives in Damascus, Virginia, where he was a former president of the Virginia Creeper Trail Club. He served on the Board of Directors of the Iron Mountain Trail Club and was a trail-maintenance volunteer for the U.S. Forest Service.

Perhaps mountain biking in the Southeast should simply be called "fat-tire biking" or "off-road biking." But, the Southeast's lack of mountains makes way for thrilling rides through sprawling cypress swamps and forested wildlife refuges. Or, you may prefer an ambling trail on a subtropical resort island. Whichever way your pleasures lean, Mountain Bike! The Southeast will help you explore the region's majestic wilderness while you discover its most unforgettable rides. This guide provides detailed information on 59 of the best rides throughout Florida, southern Georgia, and eastern South Carolina, including tours through the coastal lowlands and Florida's Apalachicola National Forest. Author Lori Finely has uncovered a diverse collection of trails that offer something to mountain bikers of all abilities. From paved urban trails to challenging single-track through thick brush, if it's good riding, it's profiled here. Each route profile features at-a-glance key information, a thorough ride description, a detailed trail map, helpful sources of information, proximity of important services, valuable commentary on elevation changes and possible hazards and a rescue index. Mountain Bike! The Southeast also features interesting and entertaining photographs, vivid descriptions of native flora and fauna, a glossary of mountain biking terms, and tips on mountain biking etiquette.
