Hi,
I would like to order a copy of this atlas. I am not a TCBC member but am a LOON member (TCTC – tandem culb). The order form does not say the shipping cost for a non-TCBC member. How much should I make the check for so it includes the shipping cost?

Jason, the Atlas does contain a lot of info about trails in (mostly) Minnesota. In terms of supplemental material, it’s hard to slice everything together, but my suggestions include:

- most counties have some sort of county ‘bicycle map’ that can be requested from the county. I have copies of Dakota, Hennepin, and Anoka’s. I don’t know if Ramsey or Washington offer them, but I’d suspect yes. These show some of the city-level facilities as well as county and state.
- The state parks website at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/recgrid.html has info on state park trails.
- Little Transport Press/Bike Everywhere do a very good map of the Twin Cities including road and trail routes: http://bikeverywhere.com/mn/
- The ‘Fred’s Best Guides: Twin Cities Bicycling’ is available at most bookstores and is also a good atlas with trail maps included.

I just ordered my copy of the atlas! From the description it looks like it is primarily suggested routes plotted by contributors… does it also include a comprehensive list of bike trails (i.e. at state parks, or intercity trails such as the “Gateway Trail”, etc)? If not, do you have any recommendations of supplemental material?
