Cape Cod Ride In August
I would like to put a ride together if anyone would be interested. It will be just off Cape so going over the bridges on the weekend will not be an issue. I would like to ride through Wareham, Rochester, and Marion. I will guess at a 30-40 mile loop.
I can do it any weekend other than the 21-22. Let me know .

I told a buddy I was going up to Cape Cod one time, he says "where", I said "Marion".
He said what you just said
How far from Boston is this? I'd possibly be in.

It's about a 45 minute ride from Boston.
Also, I could make the ride shorter or longer whatever everyone wants.

Hey Scott,
I know it's not really Cape Cod, but who ever heard of Marion?

I might be able to make that one. I have a Grand Cherokee that can haul 4 bikes, 4 riders, bags, and anything that can be tied down to a roof.

Wouldn't be easy for me, but I'd consider it if I could mooch a ride from someone in NJ. If I did, it would have to be more than 35 miles on the bike, though.

If we can plan for Saturday August 6, would be the only weekend day I could ride. I take my daughter to college later in the month.
I think BF member Larry Tate's in-laws live in Marion. He refers to it as "The Cape." I always ask "Which one?"

August might be bad for me, although I'll know later this month. Sounds like a good ride tho, I'm not too familiar with that part of the "Original Cape", pre 1909.

August gets a bit tight for me as we're in Maine Aug 13-27. That first weekend is likely the best possibility for me.

Any ferry options to do the length of Cape Cod?
I found a Plymouth to Provincetown one, but it's late morning (arrives 11:30am in Provincetown), and it's about an 80 mile trip back.

I might be able to make this one if it doesn't coincide with a show I have to play. Which cape, Good Hope or Horn? Oh, that cape. Got it.

It does not look like a good month for anyone?
What about September, would that work for anyone?

By that point I'll be child free for the first time in almost 19 years (she will be in college). If you wanted to try for a Labor Day ride, I might be able to talk Mrs. PB into heading for Cape Cod on Sunday (after worship) and we would stay over until Tuesday. That would be my best day.

September is much better for me, plus the weather can be nicer and the roads a bit quieter.

Other than Sunday, Sept. 25, the day of the Hub on Wheels ride, Sept. is pretty wide open for me.

Death fork? Naaaah!!
September works better for me as well. And the Cape is nicer off-season, but still not what it used to be (right, Scott?).
How about making it a true Cape Cod ride up the rail trail. 44 miles of MUP from Dennis to South Wellfleet and back, lots of possibilities for lunch/snacks, and not one hill in sight!

OK..... Lets do this sometime in September then. I have the every weekend open as of now, so I will leave it up to everyone as to which weekend will work best. The Dennis to Wellfleet trip sounds good to me if everyone else agrees.

The first two weekends - one being Labor Day, the other a local bike show - are out for me. Any other is fine.
