	A nicely written bicycle day touring guide for northern
	N. J. is:
		
		RIDE GUIDE: For North Jersey and Beyond
		by Dan Goldfisher and Melissa Heffernan

	The guide describes 22 well-debugged rides including: the
	number of miles, terrain, traffic, road conditions, points
	of interest, point-to-point directions in 1/10 miles, and maps.  
 
	To quote the authors: "Whether your preference is a long or
	short ride, a strenuous hilly jaunt or a gently rolling pedal,
	you find your ride here ... not only where to turn, but where
	to find historic houses, country fairgrounds and swimming
	spots ... and if you wish to make a weekend outing, the
	appendix lists inns and motels near the routes."

	The book is new (1985), compact for carrying (5 x 9),
	and available for $ 5.95 from:
