“Our Cape Cod bike tour offers cyclists the opportunity to pedal along the paths once known to the Wampanoag Indians, to bike along the seashore, and to tour quaint harbour villages. This beautiful coastal area became a popular summer destination for New Englanders, and now thousands flock to the area every year to enjoy the ocean, the beaches, the islands and the authentic fishing villages. Escapades is offering the opportunity to enjoy it all at a leisurely pace as our group bikes along seaside paths and wooded trails.” This tour is rated in the “Easy to Moderate” level of difficulty. The highlights of the cycling Cape Cod tour are:

1. Easy biking along scenic country roads and the Cape Cod Rail Trail
2. Cycling past magnificent seaside vistas, cranberry bogs and salt marches
3. Go at your own pace; ride all day or stop and see the sights
4. Visit Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod National Sea Shore, Coast Guard Beach, Nauset Light Beach and Lighthouse
