Keith,
Head over to your nearest bicycle shop, preferable one that deals with
mountain bikes a lot. They should carry a couple dry lube sprays used
on bike chains. Using a dry lube on a mountain bikes chain is
important or you end up with a grunge mess of abrasive junk within
about a mile of riding and it really wipes the chain out.
