Just thought I'd let folks know that the State of NH Dept. of Transportation has released new bike maps recently:

The maps are in PDF format and are pretty comprehensive.

Ahh I wish I had seen these earlier! I just got back from a weeks vacation in NH on Sunday!
Yeah, if you ask them, they will send you paper copies of them all... I asked a few years ago and they sent me a boat load of bike maps, very nice and free. Highly recommended. I got the mapset for Maine from MDOT,however I can't seem to find a recent link for that, as if Maine stopped offering it or perhaps working on a new one. The one i got was two sided (southern half/northern half) but from the looks of it, it might of been somewhat dated. It gave traffic density and shoulder widths in a color coordinated layout.

I think this is it...

Not exactly, but I've seen that website before. The map I got from Maine DOT was a two sided folded map that simply showed via a color scheme the traffic density and the shoulder width of most of the legal county/state roads that were rideable. It wasn't necessary as up to date as it could be but it was good for the bike tourer/planner. I bet one could easily call the Maine DOT and see if they still offer it or has anything left but it is a nice addition to my set of maps and I used it when I biked across the state.

I emailed the Maine DOT; when I receive their reply I will post it here.
