Book Reviews of Bicycling Salt Lake City: A Guide to the Area's Best Mountain and Road Bike Rides (Where to Bike)
Book Review: Salt Lake road riding necessity
Summary: 4 Stars
I ride both the road and singletrack. Although Gregg Bromka has written several excellent trail guides for Utah mountain bikers, there has not been a well organized print guide to road rides in Salt Lake envirions prior to this book. The road rides are well chosen and feature excellent descriptions and access instructions. The list does not include all classic local rides but hits most of them with suggestions for add-ons and shortcuts if time is pressing. It is obvius that the author has ridden all of the rides in this book and made careful observations. Of course, these are ultimately suggested routes and I ride a little different route than described in the book for all of these rides but that is the fun of it.
There are little things that frustrate me about the book, most annoying of which is the inclusion of ten mountain bike rides. While the author states that his intention is to provide a well-rounded guide to all cycling in the area, these rides are previously published in his other guides and I cannot help but think they are filler to make the book thick enough in the absence of more road rides to describe. This is unfortunate because there are certainly more road rides in the Park City and Midway/Heber areas as well as the city limits that could have nicely filled out the book and would have been valuable information for the roadies looking for something a little different from the usual SLC rides.
In the end, I have used this book extensively and highly recommend it for the visiting or new roadie in SLC. Even roadie veterans may find some new routes and variations.
