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: White Meadow Press P. O. Box 582 Rockaway, N.J. 07866
