My wife and I are planning to tour from St. Petersburg down to Riga, Latvia in August. We're looking for good touring sites that will have maps with recommended routes or a hard copy map that will do the trick. Any suggestions?

Haven't used this myself, so can't vouch, but found it through a Google search http://www.mapsworldwide.com/sku_37843.htm

Now I'm inspired to go explore my ancestral homeland of Lithuania by bike. I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'd love to hear tips from anyone who's cycled Lietuva.
