I picked up a copy and its a work of art! Seriously, it takes trail guide books to the next level. --Knoxville Mountain Bike Forum

Now available in area bike shops and book stores, Off Road Trails profiles 31 trail systems across East and Middle Tennessee. The book follows the same winning formula Colquitt and Livengood applied to Bicycling Routes, their guidebook on road riding on the country backroads around Knoxville, Tennessee. --Morgan Simmons - Knox News Sentinel

This is the best trail book I have ever seen. I hope they do some for western NC, KY and the other surrounding states. The printing is excellent. I looked at a few of the local trails - very well put together - trail maps are tops. --Nashville Mountain Bike Forum
