This book lays out 35 day-long routes through mountains and valleys of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, plus an ideal north-south through route. Coyner's affection for the region is clear in his lyrical descriptions of the best roads to ancient caverns, covered bridges, rolling farm country, Civil War battlefields and president's homes.

• Practical Guide Accompanied By Measured Humor 11 April, 2005
For me there are three parts to a good trip - the preparation, the adventure itself, and then the memories. This book has helped me a long way in achieving all these pleasure points. The maps and text are wonderful; the crafty photo's with tasty captions peppered appropriately throughout this guide left my partner (who does not accompany me) recommending more sights than I could handle. A keeper, if not just for that.

• Lookout Mountains Here We Come! 10 December, 2005
I worked in the motorcycle industry for over 10 years as a service manager and still ride with all my old co-workers.
We thought we knew all the best roads in our neck of the woods but we were wrong.
We pick a route, get into the middle of nowhere and then get lost.
This book has filled in the blanks for us.
A must have if you're a real rider.

• Excellent Book For Motorcyle Enthusiasts 18 July, 2007
great book detailing not just roads, but local custom and color for the mid-atlantic area from PA down to the Carolinas and eastern Tennessee.
numerouse routes from a central point in each region are detailed and the local dining, lodging, and other points of interest are detailed in an interesting style of writing.
useful for anyone who wants to tour the mid-atlantic region and take their time doing it...

• Invaluable! 10 June, 2007
I just got back from a near-1000 mile trip through the Appalachians. I used this book to guide me through some thoroughly fascinating and beautiful areas -- the author, Dale Coyner, has create a terrific resource! I am not exaggerating when I say that VA Route 39 has changed my view of the eastern United States (I lived in the West -- Alaska, Utah, and Arizona -- until 2000). I'm sure I won't be the first, but I've set a goal to do all 36 rides in the book.
I showed this to the clerk at the bookstore at the Peaks of Otter wayside on the Blue Ridge Parkway. She's a rider, so she took the name of the book down with considerable enthusiasm and pledged to talk to the manager about stocking the book in the store. It seems strange NOT to have your book on the shelves in such a rider's paradise!

• A "must" For Anyone Traveling The Appalachians 03 July, 2007
I just finished a ride of a little over 1000 miles from my home in NJ to and through WV and VA. I used this book to guide me on some really terrific roads and through some truly beautiful areas. This was the first long, extended ride I've ever taken and it was in large measure due to the "encouragement" expressed through this well written resource. If you're thinking of traveling through the Appalachians then I would recommend that you purchase and pour through this well written book before you go.
