Pros
• Zilly is straighforward and doesn't try to be cute or witty as so many trail guide authors do.
• The trail descriptions are pretty spot on (I'm an intermediate rider with moderate fitness)

Review
I'm an intermediate level woman with modest technical skills and have found many guides full of "dude" hype that myself (and other women) find intimidating so we avoid "technical trails". I trust Zilly's thorough and accurate descriptions and find myself more encouraged to ride trails another author might play up hazards. Thanks Zilly for giving it to us straight!
