I have enjoyed hiking in N. Hampshire's mountains and I'm looking forward cycling there as well as meeting a Bikeforums member.
I went for my first ride of 2011 today lasting a mere 12 miles or so. I have been skiing twice a week but still, my legs do not have the endurance and snap as the end of last summer. The good news is that I'm way further ahead of where I began last year. I'm impressed that you will do more work just getting to work than the average American does all day.
Still sections of snow and ice on the path north of the traffic light in Barrington.
I have four panniers I got from Art. Two small for the front and two big for the back. They are good and inexpensive, but I don't think total downpour proof. I just put things in a few clear ziplock freezer storage bags. You can see what's in the bag, and take them out to look under things without getting stuff wet. One can even use the clear bags as a map protector.
