az1103 Posted October 21, 2008 #27 Posted October 21, 2008 I did NOT receive the National Geographic book I got basically a reprint of the byways on the web site in print form. Nice to decide where to go, but it does not cover the state designated byways that are also on the web site… http://www.byways.org/ Same here, it's a totally different publication.... But the price is right!
Carbon_One Posted October 21, 2008 Author #28 Posted October 21, 2008 Ya it does appear we were given a totaly different publication. Not having seen the N.G. version I don't know what if anything we're missing here. Still the price was right. I'll use it along with other biker route mapping books. Larry
tazmocycle Posted October 21, 2008 #29 Posted October 21, 2008 got mine today, it ok as an extra to look at a few new roads. have already ridden some of them, but will use it when i go to a state for the first time and can't find any members to show me around. this website is the greatest touring link, if you're going to a new area, just post and you'll have somebody wanting to show off their area or just be at the meet and eats. thanks for the link and THANKS to all the great members that made this site what it is, don.
Eck Posted October 21, 2008 #30 Posted October 21, 2008 got mine today in the mail.. I too already rode some of the roads shown, btu there are several that I havent.. Nice little book ..that I will keep on the bike...
KiteSquid Posted October 21, 2008 #31 Posted October 21, 2008 I guess what I was trying to say is to me the book is worthless, because there is more information at the website... I chucked my copy in the circular file.
pegscraper Posted October 22, 2008 #32 Posted October 22, 2008 The book has nothing in northern IN. What a surprise. There are things to do up here, but one has to be a little more creative. Lincoln Highway in IL also runs through IN and OH. Finding sites where the old Wabash Erie canal can still be seen is fun. It went from Toledo, OH all the way down to the Ohio River. There are numerous little towns and spots through the countryside where it can be seen.
DragonRider Posted October 22, 2008 #33 Posted October 22, 2008 For free it wasnt all that bad, I found some interesting rides I would like to do if I ever get to some of those roads so very, very far away................
