Hello everybody !

If you ever been on the NH roads, then you might be able to help me.
I'm planning a trip from coaticook (canada) to old orchard (maine) and since I'm not familiar with the road in the NH and ME I thought that this might be the right place to get some input !!!

I'd like to hear about some alternative paths, suggestions, comments, are these roads cyclist-friendly. Well any information will be useful Wink

here's my 1st itinerary:
day 1: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/coaticook-gorham
day 2: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/gorham-113-standish-old-orchard

here's another possibilty:
day 1: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/coaticook-upton
day 2: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/gorham-old-orchard

the bikely elevation profile feature (under show menu on the top left) provides good information

thanks,
Christian Gosselin

Hi,

I've ridden from Montreal to Pine Point ME quite often. Your routes look good, here is a possible variation on the end of the second day. The roads suggested are all paved and have less traffic than what you've put down.

Salut et bonne route!

bonjour MBinMtl,
your path shows how to get from Steep Falls to Pine Point. I would be very interested to see what are your routes to get to Steep Falls.

Seems like I don't have access to any of your other paths on bikely thanks.

merci beaucoup,
Christian
