Cape Cod Bike Ride

Post by wisart »

So this road trip is a little different than usual.  The first being that Serena and I went together and the second is that we took our bicycles.  Still a riding adventure though, we rode 26 miles along an old railroad line that had been paved.  Would have gone further but I had taken a nap mid-day and we didn't get started until early afternoon.  Got to roll through many quaint Cape Cod towns, eat some food and see the ocean.  Best of all Serena and I got to share the adventure together and we were both on two wheels.

Image
The starting point in Wellfleet.  It was mid-point for us because our resort room was along the trail further down the road in a town called Brewster.

Image
My ride, a Trek Pilot 1.0.  If I were to equate it to a motorcycle I guess you would call it a sporty standard, sorta like a Versys or Ninja 650.  It looks aggressive but is actually quite comfortable to ride long distances.

Image
Serena on her Felt ZW 25.  This bike is much more sporty than mine, lighter, more aggressive seating and a much better derailleur.  Neat mint green color too.

Image
The trail is really nice to ride with only a few bumps and cracks.  Only a short portion is shared with motorized vehicles.

Image
We found this path that went out to the ocean.

Image
Looking back towards shore is the Nauset Lighthouse.

Image
Spent some time watching the water wash ashore.

Image
Love the sound of crashing waves.

Image
A gratuitous self portrait.

Image
Serena cruising along.

Image
We both saw this shed at the same time and said the same thing... must be zombies locked in there.  We watched way too much Walking Dead recently.

Image
I stopped for a photo-op of this pond and my bike.  Serena didn't feel like stopping so I told her I would catch-up.

Image
It took me five miles to reach her and when I finally passed her she sticks out her tongue at me... nice.

Image
This boat was moored in front of a fish market.

Image
And this fella was waiting for scraps of food from tourists.

Image
There are a couple of fun tunnels to ride through along the trail, this is the shortest of the bunch.

Image
It's always nice to stop and smell the flowers.

Image
And to take a look around... even if it costs a quarter.

Image
Almost back to the resort.  I'm getting very tired right about now.

Image
Some scenic marsh land.  There was a hiking trail alongside but we couldn't find where the trail started so we viewed from a distance.

Image
Another pond.

Image
Bye for now from the both of us.

While we may not have gone as far as you can on a motorbike it was really great to find this riding trail.  There is a lot to see in 26 miles when you are pedaling.

As usual, you make us all jealous for the great rides you have. Also superb photos for your rides powered or peddled.

(No food photos this time?) :lol:

What they said. And so rugged with it! :)
I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face,
My natural exuberance spills out all over the place!
