New Hampshire

Any recommendations for a detour off the ACA Northern Tier route in New Hampshire to see a cousin near Concord, NH?  After ther detour to Concord, I would like to rejoin the ACA route on into Maine where I'll visit a friend south of Portland.

You might want to check the resources published by New Hampshire for recommended routing:

Route 3 parralles I-93 between Woodstock and Concord, so that's probably the most bike friendly route.  I haven't bike it myself.

Route 16 carries a lot of traffic, so i wouldn't recommend that.

You might consider leaving the Northern Tier in Sharon VT, and continue down the White River Valley to White River Junction, and then parrelling I-89 into Concord.  From Concord, go north on Route 3 to Woodstock, and rejoin the Northern Tier on Route 112 and crank the kanc.
