Ride Description

Ultimate Cape Cod & Martha's Vineyard                                                  9 days, 8 nights - ride experience: 

The locals know that early October is the best time on Cape Cod and its island jewel, Martha’s Vineyard. The summer crowds are gone, road traffic is light and it's still beach weather. 

With Hyannis as our hub, we'll cycle for five days throughout Cape Cod. On the lower cape we'll visit the Kennedy Legacy Trails, pedal the Shining Sea Bikeway, Cape Cod Canal Rail Trails, visit Nickerson State Park and The Chatham Lighthouse.  Heading north to the 'Outer Cape' we'll cross Wellfleet's Uncle Tom's Bridge and visit Truro, home of the  pristine Cape Cod National Seashore.  There, we'll top it's massive sand dunes and visit Marconi Beach and The Nauset Lighthouse. At  the Cape's northern tip we arrive in lively Provincetown, longtime haven for the arts. We'll ride The Province Land Bike Trail to see the 1620 Pilgrims Monument, P-Town Art Association, Beech Forest and the Race Point Lighthouse.

People Cycling's Ride Rating

People Cycling has four categories for our rides – Easy, Moderate, Difficult, and Challenging. It should be somewhat obvious what these categories mean, but please become familiar with the elevations and distances that define them:

Easy
Easy rides are under 30mi/48km in average distance and 1600ft/500m in average elevation
Moderate
Moderate rides are over the Easy rating but under 50mi/80km and 2460ft/750m
Difficult
Difficult rides are as over the Moderate rating but under 75mi/120km and 3280/1000m
Challenging
Anything over the Difficult rating

NOTE: This is not a strict guideline. There could be rides that have a day or two where the average elevation or distance exceeds the values given above. These anomalies should be outlined in the ride description. It is recommended that you read it carefully.

About People Cycling

People Cycling is a bicycle touring club, which you can join for free. We offer Domestic and International Cycling Tours which are led by volunteer Ride Leaders. Our tours are made up of a small group of participants (typically 15-20 or so) who want to ride an average of 30 to 55 miles a day over a one or two week period in interesting regions of the world. Our tours range in price from frugal getaways to luxurious adventures. We travel road, gravel, or mountain bike styles, and all bicycle types – including e-bikes, recumbents, and tandems are typically allowed.

Our ride leaders are volunteers and do not financially profit on tours they lead. They are also given broad discretion on how to lead their tours, and we consider them our greatest asset.

People Cycling tours are operated at cost or at lower cost (as negotiated by our ride leaders) than individuals can obtain on commercial tours. Within the cost of a tour, there is a nominal fee to support club operations and provide tools to ride leaders to manage their rides.
