Anyone recommend some gloves? I rode a 22 mile off-road trail today and my palms were killing me. I think my right hand even went numb for a bit toward the end.
if you are new to this you shouldnt be doing it alone, you can get seriously injured with no one to help you....
also get any type of bike glove that is made from that foam material, with cut offs at the finger region. really dont think brand matters.
and get some knee pads too.... and a helmet. get the type of mini pump that comes with a bracket, so you can put it just below your water bottle.

i forgot to add elbow pads, a spare tube and the tools for removing a tire, learn how to replace a tire too.

You might want to look into padded handlebar tape, too. I've only done road riding, but, that helped me.

A banana in a backpack. Keep it on the bottom and save it for last! I bought a pump and I keep it in a drawer in my home.

I don't know how people can work out staring at a TV or listening to music without actually moving. I can do it once in awhile (I have a recumbent exercise bike in my computer room), but it takes a great deal of motivation to get me through it. The nice thing about riding a bike is that you only have to make up your mind to ride out to your destination. Then the only way back is to keep riding.
Oh, and for the pumps - get both a CO2 and a hand pump. Depending on the required pressure of your tires, the hand pump can be pretty tiring (no pun intended) to use. CO2 pumps are fast but they're not very precise. They're both cheap - you can pick up a decent hand pump, CO2 pump and spare cartridges for less than $50.

.its far more impressive to women that a soft skinned, bloody handed juvenile pumping away with a cheap pump.
You just summed up the 1990's for me.
