Off the Beaten Track Vol. 4: A Guide to Mountain Biking in East Tennessee
  East Tennessee's accessibility, diverse terrain, and nearly year-round cycling season make it one of the hottest mountain biking destinations in the South.
Now completely revised and expanded, this guide covers 56 mountain bike trails in east Tennessee, including new trails in the Cherokee National Forest, and trail networks on public lands from Chattahooga to Kingsport and from the Big South Fork to the Ocoee River.
Same great user-friendly format. Same concise directions; easy-to-read maps; and reliable, up-to-date information as the original edition. And you can still find all the information you need for each ride on a two-page spread.
Even MORE accessible riding destinations–all within a half-day's drive from the cities of east Tennessee, from the mountains of western North Carolina, or from metro Atlanta. Off-road cyclists from across the Southeast will find rides from easy to extreme to satisfy all skill levels.
