There's the stretch of 111 in Windham that's crossed by a lot of driveways into parking lots and turn lanes that make it a bit tricky to see all the directions a car could be coming from (starts at one end with Klemm's Bakery, as I recall), and drivers around there want to "share" the shoulder with the bicyclists rather unpredictably from time to time to take the right turns.
Ah yes, the Klemm bakery/USPS stretch of road is dicey. And Hudson is scary. I mostly ride towards Londonderry.
Let me know next time you're riding through. I live very close to 111. Maybe we can ride together for some distance.
