I have not had any debt in years, and my credit score is static at 758. Would a personal loan now boost my score within a year in a tangible way? How much could it go up? +2 to 760, or +10 to 768? And would a 760 or 768 qualify me for a lower rate on, say, a $100k construction loan versus 758?

WD-40 is not a lubricant, it is a solvent. Use some light oil. 30w motor oil is fine. You don't need much. Lay your bike on its side and dab a little onto the bearings with a Q-tip, swizzle stick, anything.

Bring a whistle. If you get separated / lost, the whistle noise will carry for more than a mile with relatively little effort on your point. Yelling won't carry as far and requires a lot more effort on your part, plus you'll go hoarse.
