Biking tip..

Tuning your bike makes a *huge* difference! I can't believe I didn't do this sooner.. Suddenly all my gears switch lightly, chain doesn't fall off when switching to 1st while going up hill... and the last 6 gears (12-18) actually work!

I know.. I know.. all common sense.. but still.. had I realized the difference it would make in how my bike handles I'd have done this months ago.

Went biking at Ringwood State Park in New Jersey yesterday with a friend. It was *very hot*, we managed to get lost and rode around in circles for a while... These are *not* trails for novices!

Getting lost on a Sunday is great. Maybe now you realize you need a GPS. :)

We had a GPS, but it doesn't help much when you can't find yourself on the little map of trails that makes all trails look the same :)

Reference points. Always mark your position and coordinates on the map when you start. Then just head back towards that point. Establish your Cardinal directions, and work from there. Easy as pie. ;)
