Review

"""A cycling guidebook which reads like a novel. Directions, maps and places to stay are intertwined with rich descriptions of geological and human history. A must have for history buffs with bikes.""
Mohawk Valley Heritage"

"""This is a delightful well-written book which leads the rider through the canal system of New York State. Mr Rossi dispenses excellent cyclist-to-cyclist advice. The discriminating reader will appreciate his literary allusions as he comments upon the natural and political history which have influenced the geography of the region.""
