From the Author\nThis book is outdated and has been out of print for years. Please do not rely on it for wilderness use. Written at a time when there was little if any reliable information about longer hikes in the Catskills, this book was very popular and soon became a classic on the subject. It did very well over the years. It was a great book while it lasted. This title should not be sold any longer, as it is so badly dated, nor should it be reviewed as a contemporary volume, though it continues to be.

The largest, most beloved wilderness in the East is now open to mountain bikers, and Peter Kick's new guidebook tells you where and how to enjoy it. "The Park" is how Northeasterners refer to Adirondack State Park, a 6-million-acre wilderness of hemlock stands, beaver ponds, mile-high peaks, solitude, adventure--and world-class mountain biking. Inside the Park's Blue Line you'll find mile upon mile of hard-packed dirt roads, not to mention a well-developed network of bike trails ranging from the gentle to the exhilarating. Now Peter Kick, author of two previous mountain biking guidebooks, has selected 25 of the Park's best trails, including tours for every rider at every level of skill. Kick has scrupulously sought out only legal mountain biking trails; most importantly, he places special emphasis on riding each trail responsibly, without damaging the Park's unique and fragile ecology. In addition to providing directions to the trail, each write-up includes up-to-date maps and regulations, surface conditions, trail highlights, nearby bike repair shops, and detailed, mile-by-mile directions.
