Lots of fish and game speed traps.

We used to ride in rangeley a lot, and it is a slightly shorter trip. The trails in the 7 lakes region of NH (Milton, Wakefield, etc) are surprisingly good and very well maintained, without the crowds.

A few good rides I have taken are from Errol to rangeley and back, or from the Canadian border to thetford mines and back. Both are long day trips.
I couldn't agree with you more and why we bought our camp in Maine verses Pittsburg NH. A lot longer drive but well worth the trip if getting away from the crowds is what you are looking for.
