There's no better way to see the real Maine than by bike...and no better way to bike it than with this third edition of Howard Stone's 25 Bicycle Tours in Maine--updated, expanded, and featuring all-new maps. Ranging from half-day jaunts to multiday adventures, these tours take you down nearly 2000 miles of Maine's back roads--through weathered lobster ports, past blueberry barrens and gracious Colonial homes, around remote islands and lakes, up (and down!) scenic hills. Stone concentrates on "the roads less traveled...the route to take if you truly want to learn what Maine is all about." (Bates College Alumni Newsletter). Included with each tour is total mileage; a detailed map; complete mile-by-mile directions; information on nearby bicycle shops, accommodations, and eateries; and the author's notes on the country you're biking through. Many tours include bonuses: side trips, detours, and alternate routes to tailor the ride to your taste.

The rides vary in length, many combining to create multi-day loops. Detailed directions describe rides leaving Havana to the west and east. Subsequent rides are clustered in the three best regions of Cuba for cycling: Pinar del Rio, Central Cuba, and the Oriente. A final section contains advice on connecting the regions for a long tour of the entire island. In addition, the authors provide information on getting to Cuba, equipment and accessories, food and water, safety considerations, overnight accommodations, and more. Exploring this fascinating country on two wheels may just be the best way to fully appreciate its history, people, and culture.
