| 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) | | Verdict | 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! |
