Adventure Cycling Maps

On my first real tour I rose with a group of guys that worked in bike shops like I did. At the time I worked at a great shop in San Francisco called Nomad Cyclery. The shop still exists. It's on the corner of 27th and Irving. In the sunset district. Roger Cook is still the owner and he runs a pretty right ship. I loved those days and think back on them really fondly.

I was doing a ride from Sam Fran to San Antonio Texas. One of the guys that was riding with us had family in San Antonio so hat was our destination.

This entry is about the maps. Adventure cycling seems to be the leader in cycling specific maps. I've been looking for a better option but don't seem to have found any. If any of you out the have any Infiniti would be really interested in hearing from you

It seems to me that they are pretty comprehensive and are well detailed.

I have read some reviews that are less than favorable. Mainly concerning that some of the details of the route are a little hazy. Or that a road that wasn't mentioned really was there.

My experience with these maps has been that they are really great.

On that SF to San Antonio tour we used them and apart from one road that seemed to turn into a storm drain that we rode for an hour , they were accurate and very helpful.

On the upcoming California Coast tour we will be using these maps and gps on iPhone to navigate our way south. I know that we could probably find out way to LA without maps entirely but I'm looking forward to using them.
