I am looking for a couple recommended books on cycle routes in New England. Preferably NH, ME, and northern MA if possible. I just moved to Salem, NH and am looking for good "local" bike routes. I don't mind traveling on weekends such as some Maine coastal rides, but the closer to southern NH the better.

Thanks in advance!

The Kennebunk ride is really nice. We like the Kittery ride and the Lighthouse Loop ride is one of my favorites.

Bear Notch Loop ride in the Conway area is very good, if a little challenging.

I came up with a ride that goes up Rte 160 from Kezar Falls, park at the Post Office, to Center Conway road. Have a java or lunch in Conway. Then go down Rte 153 until Andrews Hill Rd that takes you to Freedom and eventually leads back to the start via Rte 25.

Thanks for the links! The new hapshire one looks like a great place to start. I just picked it up on amazon for $0.31 can't go wrong with that.

Anybody got any other recommendations?
