25 Bicycle Tours In Maine: Coastal And Inland Rides From Kittery To Caribou (Bicycling) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
There's no better way to see the real Maine than by bike. Ranging from half-day jaunts to multiday adventures, these tours take you down nearly 2000 miles of Maine's back roads-through weathered lobster ports, past blueberry barrens and gracious Colonial homes, around remote islands and lakes, up (and down!) scenic hills. Included with each tour is total mileage; a detailed map; complete mile-by-mile directions; information on nearby bicycle shops, accommodations, and eateries; and engaging descriptions of the history and culture of each region. "This mile-by-mile guide to touring by cycle includes anything your lungs and legs can manage."

I have enjoyed Howard Stone's bike books for Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and as a new resident of Maine am delighted to have an opportunity to enjoy his rides in my new state. As always, Howard's ride descriptions and directions are very thorough and accurate. I especially appreciate the consistency with which he rates the difficulty of the rides. As an avid, but strictly recreational, cyclist, I found this to be an excellent book.
Great help to plan bike routes in Maine. Four stars because it's not been revised in 13 years or so - but not much changes in Maine. I bought it used and it was helpful to plan some day trips in July 2014. Most of the routes are kind of short (25-30-35) but a few are longer. I rode in only a few of the areas but even where I wanted a longer route, it was a helpful start. Also check out the ExploreMaine.org website - Maine tourism department has a lot of fully routed rides with descriptions and turn by turn directions.
Love this book .Planning trips for this summer .
