Bicycle Rides San Diego and Imperial Counties - Entire County Areas; 62 Rides Author:Donald G. Brundige, Sharron Brundige The book provides 62 on-road trips in San Diego and Imperial Counties. Rides vary from those for short-length family trips on separated bike paths, many longer exploratory and workout trips for more experienced riders on various quality bike routes, and a few "gut-buster" tours for the most physically fit and motivated bikers. There are over 150... more »0 one-way miles of biking described. Included are the 57-mile San Diego Scenic Drive, the 67-mile coastal county tour (San Diego to San Clemente with AMTRAK train return), and the 47-mile Great Overland Stage Route. Trip domains include lakes, parks, beaches, valleys, canyons, mountains, rivers and desert. Included are master maps of the two-county area to show ride locations within the counties and a master matrix that identifies ride location, level of difficulty, route composition (percentage of route on bike trail, signed bike lanes or open roadway) and a general trip characterization (i.e., Is the trip scenic? Is it in a natural setting? Are there landmarks and/or sightseeing attractions along the way? Is this a mileage and/or elevation workout?). Each trip description contains a detailed trip map and elevation-distance profile, as well as at least one scenic or character-interest photograph. The route maps note the location of water sources, landmarks, sightseeing attractions and campsites among other points of interest.« less
