Review
Great book for little tips and pointers here and there. It's a book you just need to open a couple times a week and read a few paragraphs. You will learn how to improve your riding little bits at a time.

My girl bough this book for me about a year ago and it definitely instilled confidence in my riding abilities. It not only makes you want to go out and ride but gives you ideas for a goal to accomplish on your ride as well. Pick up a copy and enjoy.

Review
This book has been featured (by excerpt) in Mountain Bike Magazine, and with good reason. But instead of trying to track down the issues featuring excerpts from the book, just go out and buy it! It's worth the cover-price, and is a great anytime (bathroom especially!) read.
