From Highroads (AAA) Magazine, January/February 2008:
"Tucson, the reputed "Astronomy Capital of the World" is quickly gaining ground in the ranks of another international hobby: bicycling. Perpetual sunshine, a bicycle-friendly infrastructure and the annual El Tour de Tucson are a few reasons for Tucson's burgeoning reputation among enthusiasts. Desert Journeys: A Guide for the Tucson Road Cyclist, a slick photo-enhanced book, provides riders with detailed directions for over 30 local rides. Tucsonans, the time has come to shake out your spandex shorts, strap on your camelback and join your town's earth-friendly obsession."

From Arizona Foothills Tucson Magazine:
"If you're like most people, your New Year's resolution has something to do with slimming down. Cycling can be a great alternative to countless hours on a treadmill, and now novices have a great book to get the started -- Desert Journeys: A Guide or the Tucson Road Cyclist -- by Tucsonan Jerry Rosen ... Now there's no excuse not to hit the pavement."

helpful, colorful, and spiral-bound

with you."

From the Tucson Guide, Fall 2007:
"Jerry Rosen's new field guide presents first-hand, easy-to -use information on 32 popular (and well-paved) rides throughout Tucson. You'll find ride descriptions and ratings, helpful maps and GPS profiles, safety information and rules of the road, and plenty of local knowledge geared to cycling enthusiasts. Its a long-overdue resource for a city that offers some of the most astonishing road routes in the nation." |
From Tailwinds, July/August 2007:
"As bicyclists well know, there is no better way to get to know an area than to see it from the seat of a bicycle. But because humans are creatures of habit, we tend to adopt a handful of routes and stick to them, limiting the potential of our exploration. For Tucson residents and visitors author Jerry Rosen has made it not only easy, but also very tempting to get out of that riding rut.
Rosen’s self-published book, “Desert Journeys: A Guide for the Tucson Road Cyclist,” is more than a compendium of ride directions. Much more. Rosen’s photos, which range from exceptional to stunning, give the book coffee table cachet."
"Whether you are a visitor looking for a place to ride or a long time rider who could use a little variety - and who couldn’t? - this book would make a nice addition to your library." |
From the Arizona Daily Star, August 16, 2007:
"Tucson often wins praise as a bike-friendly city, but riders have had to rely on word of mouth to learn about some of the best road-cycling routes. Until now. A new book called "Desert Journeys: A Guide for the Tucson Road Cyclist" ($25, published by author Jerry Rosen) details 32 diverse rides in the Tucson area. Rosen — a Tucson cyclist, photographer and writer — offers a concise guide to routes ranging from mostly flat spins to a challenging ascent of the Catalina Highway."
