About the Book: Twisted Trails is a collection of short stories that captures intimate scenarios about mountain bikers both in competition and off the beaten path. It explores different disciplines of the sport while weaving a thread that connects characters across the country. Twisted Trails describes mountain biking as a world where exploration and suffering are a deliberate way of life. Rich and poor, male and female, the brave and the timid of all ages bond while astride knobby tires. In these morality tales the compassion with which mountain bikers treat each other represents the highest aspirations of humanity. Who could have imagined that hand carved paths and non-motorized vehicles would develop into a community of remarkable individuals? Readers agree that it makes you want to get out there and ride.
