It is somewhat interesting that Rt-49, 12 miles length, running through Campton, Thornton and Waterville Valley from Route 93-Exit 28 to Waterville Valley is maybe the only state road in central NH that has three foot wide, paved shoulders or side lanes suitable for bicycles.
It was totally re-constructed with these new "bicycle" lanes added in about 1982 during the Gov John Sununu administration.
Here's a big thank-you for building Route 49 with these well designed bike lanes going out to Governor John Sununu. Whatever extra it cost, it was money very well spent. It's a beautiful 12-mile bicycle pedal, traveling within the woods of the WMNF, and running along the nearby Mad River.
