Brewster, MA trail
 
Hi guys,
Next week, family reunion for a whole week in Brewster, MA. I am driving from Texas with my bike.
I have no problem driving from Brewster (30mins or less) for a good 2-hour ride early in the morning. Just need a go go route.
I have looked at some routes and am confused. Racepoint looks nice.
The last thread on this subject was in 2012. Any changes since then?
If you were I and have (6) rides (one per day), how would you plan this?
Thanks

Sorry not to clarify. Road bike. Thanks

Sorry, I just saw your post. I'm not sure if you were there last week, or are there this week.

I hope you found the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which goes not far from Brewster center. So you probably won't need to put your bike in the car with one exception.

Two hour round trip trips would be:

Coast Guard Beach - part of the National Sea Shore.
Crooks Brook Beach - just a quite quiet little beach on the bay that happens to be an hour from Brewster.
Chatham - a delightful town on the elbow of Cape Code.
Yarmouth - one of the larger towns mid Cape.

Also, even your time constraints, a longer drive (45 minutes) to P-town and then cycle around the dunes of Province Lands and out to Race Point. It's one of the oldest off road bike paths in the country, beyond quirky, if oddly a bit dangerous. Some short steep grades, tight curves and switchbacks, and *sand* encroaching on the path. You will *not* get a good workout there, you have to go slowly because, well, it's more of an amusement park ride than transportation. But it will refresh your spirit.
