RADtrek (A High Elevation Mountain Bike Route)
Summary
Developed by Jeff Nussbaumer, who after moving to Colorado in 2001 sought to find a path along the highest ridges fit for a bike.After seven years of experimenting on various trail or non-trail options, Jeff found a path that was both spectacular in scenery, yet avoided private property and designated wilderness areas where biking is off limits.The book provides essential information for accommodations, supplies, trail difficulty, distance, elevation gain/loss, wildlife and the average time for each segment.A blend of cross-country riding and hiking, RADs cloud-busting trek also provides for alternate routes for safety during adverse weather or for more technical options in some instances.Novice mountain bikers will also find "RAD" appealing as there are segment portions of lesser technical trail and moderate grades.
