My usual spots on the New Hampshire, New England Seacoast are all too familiar and need something new. Anyone have good suggestions for day rides in the NH vicinity?

I am an avid hiker and know the back roads, but those are all dirt roads, not much for getting some speed, or sights. I will try some on these out to break in by CX500, like it needs to be broken in any more. The current: 1979 Honda CX500D The former: 1976 Honda CB550K 1974 Kawasaki KZ400    Report

I'm in Londonderry, almost all roads in NH are interesting to ride except the interstates. Even if I just commute to work in Concord, I ride up through Goffstown, Dunbarton, and Bow, there are many scenic views along the ridge, looking both east and west.    Report
